Poetry: I am

Who, or what, or where I am in life,
Is a mystery whose answer I should know.
A mother, sister, friend, a good man's wife,
I am all of these, but yet I have to grow.

There is no way to state with perfect truth,
The person that is me, the pristine box
Of tricks, that reveals my basic worth.
I need a key to me, to open up that lock.

But if I dare to look inside, I may
Just learn a little more. Am I a rock
That stands against the world, or am I
A fragile flower that can only sway?

I am neither, I am both, I am the person - me.
I am the lover, friend, the one who cares so much.
I am, each moment, what you think you see.
I am myself, for me, for you, for all I hope to touch.

    I am a woman of my family.
    There is really only one.
    We live the same life
    And have for generations.
    We are an echo.
    We stay the

    I am exactly what they made me
    and nothing more or less
    I've become what they told me
    and now I have no rest

    I have conformed

    by Roxan Finnell

    I am simply complicated, haphazardly designed
    Willingly stubborn, roughly refined.
    Selfishly giving, uncertainly sure,
    Generously
