Who Am I?

Who Am I?

Am I the needle in the middle of the haystack?
Am I the forgotten pencil at the bottom of the neglected backpack? 
Am I the lost child on a newspaper ad?
Am I the miserable boy being abused by his mom and dad?
Could I be the flashlight glowing in the eerie dark?
Maybe I'm the creepy homeless person asleep at the old park?
What If I'm the unhappy superstar always on T.V.?
Right now it seems like I could never find me.
Am I the innocent murderer paying for someone else's dues?
Am I the new uncovered remaining bones on CNN news?
Am I the newborn baby crying to fed?
I wish i could've been the young adult asking to be wed.
Am I the sick patient in need of a heart?
Am I the genius in class, who is incredibly smart?
Am I the widow whose family was brutally killed?
Am I the girl waiting for her dream to be fulfilled?
Am I the big dog shivering, trying to keep warm?
Or Am I the cute little puppy being rescued in someones arm?
Am I the one who has always felt pity?
Am I the lonely girl who has always felt gritty?
I Am the girl who has felt all emotions.
Its just a matter of time before I end up in another commotion.

It is often said, that sometimes the answers are found in the questions themselves... I enjoyed the journey of queries here, but I would also like to have seen a little more use of the Am I "either, or's" here used to define the What Am I scenario... A good write though...

Good use of questions. It makes us think of who we really are. I like the fact that you have made the lines rhyme.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
