who am I

Who I am? 

Who am I are the thoughts 

that are always running

through my mind searching

my whole life everywhere

I could but only more damn

questions is all I ever find, I

know my name that is for sure 

I mean unless I was actually accidentally maybe might have

been you never know switched 

at birth, I know who my family 

is at least most the time, yet

there is nagging questions that fills me up from the inside as if

my heart and my soul are always

getting confused causing me to

always run yet there  is never any

place to hide from me, so who 

am I? I know that I am an addict 

and I will always be, at one time

addicted to drugs and alcohol

now just relationships that are

very harmful to the person who is

me, I have been a father to my

four sons albeit not a very good,

one that I admit and I have been 

a son to my father who always thought I would not amount to

anything at all and a brother to my little sister and brother and even a mother fucker yet I keep searching for who and where I 

am supposed to be, so I looked 

somewhere I never looked before when I died and saw God and some angels who said to me that zi was in the wrong place wrong 

time but here is a gift for you to find out the answers to what you

have been looking for and a Poet

is who I now be you see now I can 

talk to my soul and listen to what

my heart has to say, We call that

poetry it has help heal me and so many others yet I am still to this day looking for who I am, I think maybe the problem is, I was born to late that is why I am lost in this world because I believe that there

is not many people that still think

that true love excist and happily

ever after is not only in fairy tales, and once upon a time happens

for everyone not just for fairy tale

prince and princess, even candle

lit dinners and moonlit walks in the park you see that  Is part of who I am, finding peace within myself is whom I would like to be.
