Who am I to ask?

Who am I to ask?

A Poem by Eli
"

Self reflections, Deep messages

"
    Who am I?
who am I to cry
who am I to fight
Who am I to worry

In the winter i freeze
In the summer I melt
In the fall I fly
In the spring I rest

But once again who am I to do all that?
When the world steps on me I crawl to my nest
When the world is rude I hide in my bed.
Do you believe in all that?

What is that? Who is that?
Should i not wear a skirt because is rude
or Should I wear dresses to just work in the kitchen
Should I run from real life or should I hide in the nest

I want to be in high heels
I want to be in pijamas
I want to be in a Bikini
I want to be free

Who am I to think I can
Who am I tho 
Who am I little child
Answer me once

You? Me? them?
You are winter
You are Fall
You are Spring and summer

Only the whole package can say that
But who are you then?
A warrior ? or a Loser?
You are a real woman with fears battlling the world each day.

An enjoyable read. You are of course free to be whatever and whoever you want. You need the courage to do so, which comes through strongly in the last line. You are Woman

Everyone has their own unique introspective of their life. Their own way of seeing the world. This is the correct format for you expressing your words into emotions. I enjoy taking the time to read this

Interesting. I sorta take this as almost a letter to a kid or younger self, a sorta loss of innocence, or struggle for identity in a tumultuous judgmental world

I want to be in high heels
I want to be in pijamas
I want to be in a Bikini
I want to be free

Each of these images can trigger certain implications...Heels=sexy, PJs=Slob, Bikini=revealing...but they could trigger all kinds of other links like Heels=career, PJs=Comfy, Bikini = fun...

But in the end, just want to be free, free of preconceptions, summer, spring fall, warrior, loser...

That's just sorta my take. Of course, I could be wrong lol

But reminded me of when I wore tore jeans to Mexico, and my fam in Mexico thought I was poor and wanted to buy me new jeans, and I was like "no, that's just the style" and they kinda just looked at me lol

Anyhow, enjoyed reading.
