Who Am I?

Who am I?

 

Passionate. Honest. Motivated. Strong. Insecure. Scared. Indecisive. Weak.

 

I know what I want.

I go after it.

I will get my wings.

I will travel the world.

I will glide over snow on a board.

Should I wait? I know I can do it.

Should I stop while I am ahead? I will only go up.

 

Who am I?

 

The truth binds me with chains.

But speaking it sets me free.

I own up to my mistakes.

I am only human.

Lies get me nowhere.

Truth takes me anywhere.

Do I have the courage to speak? I will find it.

 

Who am I?

 

Obstacles abound.

Money.

Time.

Effort.

Isolation.

Can they stop me? Yes.

Will I let them? No.

 

Who am I?

 

People try to tear me down.

I pick myself up.

They mock me.

I let it roll over me.

They humiliate me, degrade me.

I hold my head up high.

 

Who am I?

 

Can I afford my wings?

Maybe not.

Will I be a competent vet tech?

Maybe I will.

Should I put my dream on hold to follow another path?

Maybe I should.

But I will not be shackled by doubts.

 

Who am I?

 

I am afraid of having nothing for want of everything.

I am afraid of failing.

I am afraid my dreams will fall apart before I can touch them.

Can I do it?

Will I make it through to the end?

The answers I don’t know.

But will fear of the unknown stop me? No.

 

Who am I?

 

I cannot make up my mind.

No matter if it is a simple choice or a life-changing decision.

I didn’t want more schooling.

But I chose to return.

I hate cleaning.

But I want a career caring for animals.

I am afraid of falling.

But I am learning to fly.

 

Who am I?

 

Sometimes I am weak.

But when I falter I turn to those who are strong.

Sometimes I am sad, depressed, or lonely.

But I have loved ones to support me.

Sometimes I am lost.

But I turn to friends for guidance. 

I may fail today, but tomorrow is always a new day.

 

Who am I?

 

Weak. Indecisive. Scared. Insecure. Strong. Motivated. Honest. Passionate.

 

But I am more than just these words.

 

I am dreamer who is full of doubts and fears, but pushes forward in spite of them.

I am independent and I rely on my loving family and friends.

I am simple and complex.

I am me.
