Am I Becoming Who I Am Or Just Becoming

I don’t just want to be 

The right person 

In the right place 

At the right time

I want to be 

The right person

Do you see what I mean

Can I become 

What I am becoming

And do it right

Can I undo the work I’ve done 

That isn’t

Right

And become

Again

Can I?

Is it a choice we make or a choice

Made for us 

I don’t know

I’ve never had to ask this before

But things have been happening lately

And I can’t deny them

These torrents of words and worries

I can’t deny them anymore 

Am I becoming 

Who I am

Or am I just 

Becoming

Do I like me

Is a question I must ask 

Before

Do they like me

I’ve never had to ask this before 

My greatest fear is to be 

An uninteresting person

To be a person who says a lot of things 

But doesn’t do them 

Who dreams and never lives 

Who speaks but doesn’t act

Who doesn’t really know what she believes 

Am I becoming 

Who I am

Or just becoming

Someone tell me

No one can tell me

That’s just the thing

You see
