Who Am I
I was in my closet one day trying to decide what shoes I should wear, and the question appeared to me asking myself, who am I? Be inspired from my story I wrote in the form of a poem titled - Who am I.
Who Am I
Who am I that I can choose
To pick from my closet different types of shoes
Who am I that my feet are bare
When I only wish I had shoes to wear
Who am I that I have food
Whenever I'm hungry to eat
Who am I that I am hungry
And for food I have to seek
Who am I when I am thirsty purified water I drink
Who am I that I walk for water
When I don't even have a sink
Who am I that is covered with laced bras
And different types of clothes
Who am I which have no clothes
And walk around daily with my breast exposed
Who am I that I have a home to go to everyday
Who am I that my home is wherever
And under a bridge I stay
Who am I that have an Ipod, computer and a Wii
Who am I which have no calculator,
Phone, yet alone even a t.v
Who am I that I can cleanse my soul
And bathe from a shower
Anytime of the day hour after hour
Who am I that a shower I have not
And to cleanse my soul, I bathe from a pot
Who am I that whether near or far
I can ride the bus or even drive my car
Who am I that there is no bus and I have no car
And the distance you drive, I walk just that far
The same means of functioning daily is done with less
Yet at the same time, the one with more,
Complains more
By Colette
This is one of my powerful poems and it reflects my life and brings awareness to how people still have to function and survive daily without all the things I am so blessed to have. I understand the struggle. I have no reason to complain.
