I Am What I Am
I am what I am -
Whether I can - Whether a plan -
To be a conscious genius -
Of what lies - And what is man.
I prayed once when I was young -
As I learned the English tongue -
But I never got an answer -
Of how to live - Where I was from.
Questioning existence -
Asking for permissions -
Following the rules -
Following traditions -
Learning conformations -
Hazed by salutations -
Structured incarnations -
Freedom by formations.
I am what I write, you see -
Whether you know what is truly me -
As Shakespere wrote the question,
"To be or not to be."
