Important Questions

Who am I
To tell you who I am
When I can barely begin to understand
To comprehend
To put into words
The thoughts that drive me
To be

Who am I
But a sleepless mind
A tiring heart
An analyzed inkblot
Seeping through the page

Who am I
If not what I am
--But maybe...
Maybe it's "what"
Not "who"

Maybe "what" is by far
The more important question

The answer to which
Would be the foundation
Upon who I am
Could stand

The truth to the question
Lies not in the answer
But in who must find it

I am no one's inkblot
To be analyzed
No one's puzzle
To be solved

I am not to be figured out
By others
I am to be built and refined
By me

So, what am I?
I am my own journey.

Who am I?
I am my own traveler.
