I’m Just Me

I can tell you what I do,
I can tell you how I feel,
I can share my perspectives,
On the things I think are real.

But actions don’t define me,
Nor do goals which I aspire.
Such dreams are not distinctions,
I’m not measured by desire.

If I say what I believe,
Would you know the real me?
If I shared such convictions,
Would that really make you see?

You can’t define your essence,
Using words like an or a.
Indefinite articles
Haven’t anything to say.

Who you are can’t be described
By what you think, say or do.
Your soul has no need of masks,
It’s the purest part of you.

I am greater than my parts,
I’m more than my works could be.
If you ask me who I am,
I will tell you I’m just me.

Nobody else can clone whom we are.

Mark , i have become soooo drawn in to the words you share, your written words remind me of a quote "We must not only give what we have, We must give what we are" . and it shows in yours.truely inspirin'.
