Who am I?

I was asked how would you describe yourself?

Not as a mother, not as a wife, not as a daughter, not as a woman, not as a professional, but just your own self

I was asked what adjective would you choose?

Taken aback a bit, very hard I did try to muse

The spontaneous me, just could not gather my thoughts

Finding a word to associate with, became a struggle of some sorts

Donning those various roles, did I forget myself?

Who am I, what is my identity, I asked thyself

Has the daily grind taken a toll?

Did I just lose my cheerful and confident soul?

So busy I got with those never ending chores,

In my empty glass I forgot to pour

Let me take the time to pause for a while

Let me replenish and bring back that smile

Let me take the time to reflect back

Restart my journey for I went way off track

I do not have the words still, is it awesome?  Is it proud? Is it strong? I do not know yet

On the path to re-discovery I am all set

This time it is just about me

A vow to set myself free
