What are you?
I am.
A questioned posed:
"What are you?"
A question answered:
"Excuse me? What I am is factual... a person made up of many different parts. THe what of what I am, exists within a statistic. A subjective view."
A questioned reworded, and posed again:
"Who are you?"
A question answered:
I am an enigma.
I am what I am and I make no excuses.
I am the heart that has no boundaries, that seethes and pulsates
boiling over
on a kettle of ice.
I am what you see and then more.
I am the monster within that seeks to eat you from the inside out. I am the brutal reality of the one I call self.
I am the one who feels every blow
Every slam
And will find no wrong.
I am you and you and yes even you.
I have no segregation, I fit like a chameleon.
I have seen the world through the world's eyes
So what if I chose to see through my own.
I have the compassion and the love
That fills thy cup
And the soul that Satan has attempted
To claim.
I am the one who is sitting in the next room, oblivious to your agenda.
I am the one who
Writes
The agenda.
There is no great secret. I have none.
There shall be no query of what
Or who.
I exist to exist.
I live to breath and breath to live.
NO dent on the world and all the markings of impact.
I am.
Who are you?

Dang it! First to comment always says what I want to say, but W/E. Yahweh means I am who am, regarded by many as the most important philosophical statement ever. Word!
funny I get that question.. because people try to pigeon hole me into a castegory..I guess redneck trucker who writes poetry sometimes isn't a category..or maybe a category of one..who knows..I am just me...
I am MOM... a career I have pursued with a passion and based on my two major clients, have been a fairly popular success.
i am a lot of things, but i still don't quite feel like me just yet.
maybe someday.

LOL Joeprah! I thought the same thing...that Meleah took what I wanted to say! Though, mine would be more like, "I am what I am, and I sometimes make excuses for it."
JD:
Thank you kindly!
Momo:
:D ...I flux in and out. I am who I am not what...a clear distinction, the what is where, pple find their judgments. and that is what I struggle against.
