This one is a
bit complicated and you may have to make notes in order to follow
it.
Who am I ? What am I ?
My
fingerprints are mine alone? My DNA's the same
These two
things say who I am no matter what my name.
So who I am
is easy..no matter what YOU see
From
birth to death I'll never change..For
Je suis qui je suis* *
But What am
I ? I must be seen as being a human being
But what I
am depends upon the person doing the seeing.
A giant
would look down on me and say "You're rather small"
A pygmy
would look up and say " My word, you're very tall"
A poor man
sees my bank account. He says "You're a wealthy bloke"
A rich man
sees the same amount and says "..You're nearly broke"
An anorexic skinny man would say that I was fat
A fat man would say that I was thin..
now where's the sense in that?
So now I have a problem what is this man called ME?
It seems that others think I am what THEY
decide to see.
But there's another problem for I must confess
What these others think of me I can only guess
So I have now decided I don't have to be
what I think that others see when they look at me.
Rhett Butler coined the perfect phrase..so..
"I don't give a Damn"
As long as I am satisfied with what
I THINK
I am.
. * * I know that
you know this means 'I am who I am'
but not every one is a clever as us.
