I Am Who I Am

by ·

Am I doing what I ought to be doing?
What is it I ought to do?
Is there a plan for me?
Am I fulfilling that plan's goals?
Or am I letting someone, somewhere, down?
Maybe being is all I ought to do,
All I need to do.
But is being just doing in disguise?
Then what is it I ought to be being?
Being me?
Being someone who looks like me?
Being someone better than me?
How can I be what I am not?
I am who I am;
I'm not who I'm not.
And when all is said an done,
That is that.
