Who am I?

I spend countless hours
Trying to figure out my life
I try to figure out who I am
What purpose do I serve?

Am I an artiest?
Am I counselor?
Am I fighter?
Or a lover?

Am I kind?
Or harsh?
Do I love the way I should?
Do I give enough care?
Or too much?

What kind of person am I?
Do people respect me?
Do people look down on me?
Am I smart?
Or dumb?

Are my views wrong?
Or right?
What am I?
Who am I?

I am not bruised
I have had my fair share of pain
And heart break
But no more then everyone else

I may feel broken at times
But I am no where as broken
As some people I know are

I watch the birds fly in the sky
I watch the pink sky's slowly pass me by
I let myself take moments to find joy
In the beauty that surrounds me

But everything around me has a purpose
Has a reason for being there
But what I can't understand
What's my purpose?   

Author's Note

Something I am struggling with I know what I want to do as a career, I know what schools I want to attend I just can't figure out what type of person I am.

I love the flow of this. All valid questions to o. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Glad you are not broken. Good to here there are still those who aren't. You'll figure it out, and you will make choices that will answer these questions for you in time. Choose wisely.

I suppose at some point in our lives we all try and figure out what our purpose in life is. We all get this feeling: what do others think? Are we doing the right thing, have I made the right choice? So many things can be questioned about people's lives in general, it makes you take a while to take life in a different perspective. You know you want something worthwhile from your life, but what? That's the question. We all have our dreams, our ambitions. But are they good intentions, or bad mistakes? Action and consequence. What I liked about this poem was the fact that there is just so much you can critically analyse about it. The main question being: What is the purpose of life? Specifically, yours? It was really well constructed and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing

Oh this is so easy, you are a wonderful, beautiful, emotional, intelligent and funny young woman, as for the poem, I liked it, and you will be what you will be......And im pleased to know and respect you....

Great piece to ponder. All anyone can truly be is their conscience, anything else is an abstraction from their true self.

Awww, so sweet. Confusion is so blech sometimes. And sometimes it hides of from what we don't want to see.

Everyone gets like this at times. This is a great piece exploring those thoughts.

I have been struggling with who I am and what I am going to do for so long... I know who I WANT to be and what I WANT to do... the question is.... can I really be that person and if i can... how?
great poem, you totally spoke my mind.

I really loved this piece, we all have this feeling from time to time and it sucks - to a T >( The way you've set this out is stunning and incredibly powerful, I loved it; great job~

We all feel like these sometimes, its hard.. but you will get over it. Just follow your heart and how it tells you to go, follow the way you feel you should be going or be. You gotta understand what you really want for future, and go for it!

The emotion of confusion can be feel clearly, its making us wonder for you... yes.. i wonder what I will like to do as well, it makes us think really much! Also, the way you end it as a question without a answer is really great as well!

Overall, its a strong full with emotion poem, heart felt, and amazing!
