I am : Life

written by Poet : EC


I am
my blood
my heart
my eyes
actually, each part of me is me
still, I might live without parts that's me

No arms, no legs
maybe blind
or disfigured by wars or illnesses
when old I may have lost most of me
still, I'm perceived as me

If so, what constitutes what's me?
Am I a faceless shadow or a rock hard mirror image?
Something fluent or something carved in rocks?
A voice speaking out or a secret feeling only known to myself?

Tracing the lines of my face I don't find me
recalling events in my life I meet me
however, one's memory is a joker out to tease
other people's memories may call mine a liar

Fluttering in and out of looks, of memories I'm all and nothing
everything and nothing at the same time
