Who is the Answer?

So I wrote this poem as a way of reflecting exactly what my feelings were at the moment and how others must be feeling. Basically, I tried to envision what it was that ordinary people that I thought of were desiring. It's not completely edited yet and its written in lyrical song format. I had two answers in my mind to the question posed in the poem as I wrote it.

August 16^th, 2009

Been moving so much, that it’s becoming hard to keep in touch

With whom I am because ends of me are scattered in different places and friends, and see

if,

you have different identities because with everyone you act differently,

Then who are you really in the end when you’re reflected in people you see endlessly?

Is this

the meaning of forever? Being connected individually together?

I feel like a feather in the wind, free-flowing, not knowing where I may rest in the end,

But if they,

say when you lose yourself you find yourself, then isn’t the key to discover

Who you really are inside by being lost in the discovery of others?

All I mean is this,

I just want to mean something,

To someone somewhere

to matter while here.

For isn’t that our biggest dream?

For someone to care,

or always be there?

So this is the question,

Who is the answer?

Even though I’m used to me, it’s hard to think who I used to be.

Is the world changing or is it just the way I look at it that’s rearranging?

Or both?

Can I still be myself without ever interacting or

is the meaning of being human interacting with other human beings?

Who am I really?

I just want to mean something,

To someone somewhere,

To matter while here.

Isn’t our dream the one and same,

For someone to care,

Or always be there?

So this is the question,

Who is the answer?

Who is the answer?

All I know from learning in the end is this,

Understanding who you are is half the happiness.

I just want to mean something,

To someone somewhere,

To matter while here.

Isn’t that our one shared dream,

For someone to care,

Or always be there?

Maybe its in myself

To change and to try

To feel more alive.

and maybe its me as well,

To see someone else,

And be there to help.

So this is the question

Who is the answer?
