Who Am I?

by Jacob Staly   Oct 4, 2004


Am I the person
that I see today,
or am I the person
I want to be tomorrow?

Do I accept myself
as the failure I see in the mirror,
or do I strive to be
something else?

Shall I remain
weak and ignorant,
or do I rise above my faults
and conqure the day?

Should I give up
once again
when the going gets tough,
or shall I BE tough
and never give up?

Shall I indulge
in the fun things
and waste the day,
or seek my true interests
and pave the way
for my future?

Do I wish to stay depressed
and remain disapointed
in my actions,
or do I want to seek true happiness
and be proud?

Am I to be
forever
something I wish I wasn't,
or shall I become my dreams
and live my life?

The choice is now.
Who I choose to be today
IS who I am

Who will I choose?
