finding me

finding me

A Poem by free2bee

Who am I,

if not the labels society smiles on,

Mother, Wife, Lover, Friend,

What do I become when they no longer apply.

How do I find the

underneath

the one hidden from view

the silent, the waiting, the patient,

slowly striping off the layers

of the past to

become.

To open with a pondering notion in mind, Who am I?... states forth the ambition set into the outward shell encapsulating what it is to be human, as you continue with the synopsis, to be a wife, a mother, a friend, a lover, in whole, creates a full

spectrum underlying the application, and that being able to fill in the blanks as in creating with understanding, the answser, I like the way your words speak valumes regarding the issue of life, to love and to lose, to gain insight by way of

rendering regardless of outcome, and that being exactly what the title bears in mind, to find one's self. as in to gain self awareness through trial and supplication,
revealing and reflects the heart like an open book, one can pick up the feeling of

perserverance, strength and an overall willingness to ascend to the next level,
but to find one's self is to accept reality for what it is, and all that it offers.
Take Care, Mike

"slowly striping off the layers of the past to become" The labels and roles are all we can see. It takes faith to trust the process of becoming. Good insight and clarity while standing with the labels at your feet.
