Poetry: Who am I?

by Daffani Storm

Created on: December 19, 2010   Last Updated: June 30, 2011

Everything I’d like to be considered

Will forever grasp my attention.

Many times I have wondered,

“Who am I? How did I become me?”


Surely I’m kind, caring, loving?

Possibly funny, amusing? Or

Outgoing, personable?  Maybe

I’m attractive? Wanted?


What about talented, giving,

Understanding, patient? Am I

Aggravating, stupid, selfish?

Will I ever know what I am?


Weirdly, I may never understand

Who I am exactly; but I know I

Am who I want to be. It’s my

decision—who I am.


And I know I sometimes

Stray away from these

Gentle thoughts we’d all

Like to be.


I get upset, angry, depressed.

I can bite your head off for

No reason; yet I apologize,

Or I try to.


I’m not perfect—no one is!

But I know one thing is true—

When I leave this world,

People will remember


Me as more than just “that girl.”

I’m a Christian, and I don’t hide it.

I show the world who I am

Knowing it could turn people away.


I adore people, but my maker

Is who I stride to be.

I give Him glory for the

Wonderful person I am.


And I pray that others

Can see His grace inside

Of me. I pray I am remembered

As a loving, non-hypocrite Christian.
