What Makes Me Me

April 10, 2023

It took me a while
to figure out who I am
To finally feel like
I might have a plan!
But then just when I had it
I realized (to my despair!)
I was already changing
and it didn't seem fair!
But, as I got older
I could finally see:
If your goal is to "make it"
You can never be free.
Now I don't let them tell me
what's the right way to be
All this winding and weaving
Is what makes me me!
