Who Am I?

You are You

By jonathan carverPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Who am I?

You are You.

I spent the day deciding what to do with it.

You did three things you like before lunch.

I watched a show my algorithm suggested.

You enjoyed your morning yoga.

I went for a walk and came back more anxious.

You knit a new addition to your collection.

I wasted 3 hours mindlessly scrolling.

You read your book.

I went to the gym to try to be better for you.

You went to the gym because you want to feel better.

I want to be told what to do and enjoy.

You hate anyone who tells you what to do.

I am anxious, indecisive, and unprepared.

You are strong, confident, and independent.

I can’t open up with any new friends because I’m afraid they’ll leave.

You have enough friends and don’t need more.

I have built my life around strangers’ wants.

You have built your life the way you want.

I have never been able to express myself.

You express yourself in incredibly elegant ways.

I can’t do the things I know I need to do.

You always know what you need and want.

I wish someone would tell me the way to happiness.

You know the way to your own happiness.

I want to relinquish control of myself.

You are always in control of yourself.

I am as fickle and indecisive as the wind.

You are a rock, unwavering and strong.

Who am I? I am mud, unsure if it will be soil or a river.

You are You. Through and through.
