Who am I?-a dilemma woven into a poem
Who am I? (A dilemma woven into a poem) Am I the delicacy of a royal princess Or the might of a wrathful tigress Am I pure and bare like an open book Or the enigmatic depth of a meandering brook I'm capable of an argument rendering you speechless But I may choose to sit in a corner and cry Who am I? Am I preferring safety in my fortress Or stepping out as indomitably fearless Am I the protected jewel of the palace's chest Or the uncrowned queen of the forest I'm timidly polite and obedient to authorities unless They challenge my courage to defy Who am I? Am I chasing perfection under duress Or am I an unapologetic mess Am I the eyes that bow down to his majesty Or the verdict denying the hunter amnesty I'm mature enough to know that I only got myself With the childishness to yell complaints at the sky Somedays the intricacy of the universe is easy to demystify Other days I don't even know who am I!
