Who am I?

Am I the place I was born,

Am I the name I was given,

Am I my voice, my face, my skin,

Am I what my mother taught me to be right,

Am I the people I grew up calling friends,

Am I the man my girl-friend always wanted,

Am I the God I believe in,

Am I my family’s dreams,

Am I the future I should want to see,

Am I the advice my friends give,

Am I the hero of my favorite film,

Am I the eccentricity I conquered, or

Am I the habit I couldn’t,

Am I the voice that sounds like mine in my head,

Am I just a blank slate splattered upon by millions of random dots?

Please tell me I am not.

Please tell me I exist.
