Who Am I? ? ? Poem by Adilson Pinto

Who Am I? ? ?

Rating: 5.0


Who am I? Who am I?
I am what your personal understanding catches,
I am what your spiritual maturity realizes,
I am what your tradition says about me,
I am under your personal perspective,
I am under your personal judgement...
But I am not what your personal eyes see:
I am what I am! I am my own truth, I am my own mistake,
I am my own virtue and I am my own defect...
Distant, but so distant of your conception about me
As those bright stars in the dark sky are so distant
Of this planet made of water and rushed understandings...
Would I be perhaps- a poet?

The composite personality of a man is not what others think of him but much more than that. Nicely articulated. Thanks for sharing this philosophical treatise. I am what I am! I am my own truth, I am my own mistake, I am my own virtue and I am my own defect...
