Same Old Me

 

76-years for me,

for many others

more or less

than that.

What does

it take to

discover

and develop

who we are

and who we

were really

meant to be?

I tried their way

for many years

while sometimes

I applied mine.

Nearing the

enevitable

finish line

in life

I have found

my way was

best suited for me.

Me, the possibility,

me, the me

I was always

meant to be.

Just ask me

and I’ll tell no lies,

the me I have found

along the way,

aches and pain,

wobbly and gray

with age,

an infinitesimal

speck on the planet,

a speck to be reckoned with

nonetheless,

me

just fine anyway.

Don’t ask,

still just fine,

me the one and only,

me all the same.

I find I sometimes

use commas a lot.
