All I want to be <br />Is truly me <br />But to be truly me <br />I must first be truly free <br />But how can this dream possibly be? <br /> <br />To be free <br />I must understand <br />Everything that I am <br />But to understand just what I am <br /> <br />There are things I need to know <br />But before I know, first I need to go <br />Leave behind what I've already seen <br /> <br />To clear my mind <br />Allow the possibilities of what i may find <br />To learn the way of others <br />Children, leaders, soliders, and brothers <br />Even criminals and their mothers <br /> <br />But to learn the ways <br />I must keep asking questions everyday <br />Shake things up, never let it lay <br /> <br />How did things come to be? <br />What things are important to me? <br />One day when all my questions have been asked <br />I will finally know what it means to be true to me <br />And then finally I will be free.<br /><br />Hannah McGill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truly-me/
