Who am I?

A question no one can answer for me.

And if I myself can’t answer it, somebody will.

Somebody will tell me

I’m not smart, and I believe it.

I’m not good looking, and I believe it.

I’m a failure, and I believe it.

I’m not worth anything, and I believe it.

I don’t know anything, and I believe it.

And on, and on, and on, and I believe it

just because I don’t know

Who am I.

Who am I?

If I can definitely answer the question

then, nobody can dictate to me

Who am I

My identity will not be based

on what other people wants me to be.

My sense of dignity will not be easily shaken

by other people’s negative remarks.

My self-esteem will not be based

on what other people say about me.

But rather it will be based on the good things

that I do with the foundation of truth and justice.

I am unique and special,

when I see other people have what I do not have

and I have what other people do not have.

With this, I can do something for them

and they can do something for me.

Life is beautiful when I look around

and makes me realize

who am I

a child of God

who is loved and blessed.
