Who are you?

  • So my friends wants me to write a poem about me and him...I haven't written in so long I don't know if I can just write on command like this. Any advice?

Who are you?

Who do you say that I am?

And who are you that you should have such a right?

You can only say what you see and what you know

But do you see me for all that I am?

Do you know me as even I don't know myself?

 

Who are you to say who I am?

To label me with ordinary terms used for unextraordinary descriptions

To call me as you think I should be called

To name me as you you believe I ought to be named

 

Who are you to say who I am?

Can I even say who I am?

I am extraordinary in so many ways

Yet average in just as many ways and lowly all around

 

Is this how you would've said that I am?

Is this how you see me?

Who do you say that I am?

And who are you that you should have such a right?
