WHO ARE YOU?

th3rdeye

i asked myself where i wanna be in five years

he said idk but just make sure that you top tier

i have shed tears that could fill up waterfalls and piers

and on the road to success im taking the wheel to steer

lost myself back there i guess i was just done with trying

unfamiliar in the mirror where i stood but finally recognizing

the question of who i am more so than who am i 

a question of am i wanting to live or am i living to die

i guess its about perspective we perceive change different

and the lesson that i get is that i received change different

in the end i can at least say i transitioned willingly

more appreciative of my past as my present continues gifting me

i know lifes a journey and certain things can become a mountain

but let these words sync as you desync from your surroundings

who are you?

    Growth and the strength to persevere, nothing you experienced in the past was in vein!!

      Transitional value. Hell bent on being strong not bending towards a hell for not being strong.

      'the question
      of who i am, more so than who am i
      a question
      of am i wanting to live or am i living to die,

      i guess its about perspective
      we perceive change different
      and the lesson that i get is that
      i received change different

      in the end
      i can at least say i transitioned, willingly
      more appreciative of my past
      as my present continues
      gifting me'..
      (there is so much depth
      in just these few lines
      so reading your whole poem
      is like swimming
      in the deep-end of life: willingly...)
      just a sublime write!
      thank you for choosing to share

        Yes my perception has been going through layers, like me being a jellyfish going through waves, it cause me to share a snippet of how my life has been going the last month
