me??

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I want to meet myself on the street
Shake my hand and go for coffee
Get to know who I am
Everything about me
How was my day? What have I been doing?
What kind of person have I grown up to be?
Am I funny, boring? Kind or cruel?

I might walk past myself in the city
Be another anonymous stranger
One who hasn’t made a difference
What if I am one of those people I’ve passed?
What if I die having never known who I am?
Will anyone else know? Will my story be told?

If I lived in the country
Would I have a better chance
Of finding out who I am?
Or if I travel the world
Meet people in other cities
Will any of them know who I am?

Will anyone ever be me?
