Am I Me?

Am I Me?

A Poem by Dr Joe
"

A man reflects on who he is, how he became who he is, and wonders if he should have been someone else.

"
Am I Me?

Am I the person I was meant to be
OR
Should I be someone else?

Have my choices sent me down the long and straight path I was destined to follow
OR:
Were my choices detours that put me on backroads to quench my wanderlust?

Why do my best efforts to do good works end badly so often
AND
Why does my indifference turn out to do good so many times?

Are intent and hard work no longer important?

Is there a reason; is there a rhyme?

Are my successes just failures of what I was supposed to do?

Does any of it matter and is any of it important at all
OR
Must it matter and be very important and I am just not up to the challenge?

Will all my confusion lead to clarity
OR:
Am I simply going in circles?

Just too many questions; not enough answers.

Who gets to say the me I should be?

Am I me?

How am I to know; how do I not know?

Some questions just lead to other questions and then to other questions, ad infinitum. Sometimes it's better to relax and be receptive to what answers may come.
