Me, just me.

Identity

Who am I really?
Does anyone really know?
To my father I am his daughter,
To my husband I am his wife and lover,
And to my children I am their mother.
Who do I see when I look into a mirror?
Who do I see when I look at me?
A daughter, a wife, a lover, or a mother?
When I'm alone, with no other,
Who do I see when there's no cover?
I'm simply a woman with needs of my own -
Who am I really when I'm alone?

I'm simply a woman with needs of my own - Who am I really when I'm alone? I was just thinking the exact thoughts today... Who am i really and what do I want? Needs be.

Thanks for rating and commenting on my poem!

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
