Who am I?

I begin, I end,

I’m foe, I’m friend,

I act, I deal,

I hurt, I heal,

I follow, I govern,

I learn, I unlearn,

I live, I die,

Who am I?

Tangled in thoughts,

Entangled by emotions,

Driven by desires,

Vying validation,

I avert, I peek,

I hide, I seek,

I reject, I accept,

I resist, I adapt,

I laugh, I cry,

I give up, I try,

Who am I?

Unpossessed by thoughts,

Unshaken by emotions,

Unattached to desires,

Unaffected by decisions,

I’m empty, I’m content,

I sin, I repent,

I’m relief, I’m pain,

I lose, I gain,

I’m silence, I’m voice,

I mourn, I rejoice,

Who am I?

I am…
