Who Are You?
“who are you
really?you are not a name
or a height, or a weight
or a gender
you are not an age
and you are not where you are fromyou are your favorite books
and the songs stuck in your head
you are your thoughts
and what you eat for breakfast
on Saturday morningsyou are a thousand things
but everyone chooses
to see the million things
you are notyou are not
where you are from
you are
where you are going
and i’d like
to go there
too”
