PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don’t know who or what I am.

Am I the mean thought that I sent out,

Or the nice words that I said?

Am I the nice words I said?

Am I the fist that hit his face,

Or the smile and icepack we shared after?

Am I the people I hurt,

Or the people I saved?

Am I every heart I have broken,

Or am I the hearts I fixed?

Am I every bad grade,

Or every understood lesson?

Am I the lies I have told,

Or am I the truth I yielded?

Am I every tear I shed.

Or the smiles I give?

Am I every vain attempt,

Or my achievement?

Am I every drop of disappointment in my mother’s eyes,

Or those proud moments?

Am I every stupid angsty poem,

Or the ones that are beyond my years?

Am I all my bad advice,

Or all the times it just helped?

Am I every argument I have had,

Or every time I gave in without a fight?

Am I who I say I am,

Or will I never know?
