I am who I am and I am who I'm not…
A free spirit teasing life, challenging boundaries, breaking the rules…
Embracing individualism, celebrating differences…
In love with myself, in love with others
I am who I am and I am who I'm not
Part and parcel of the same energy
Experimenting, remembering, experiencing, living…
I am who I am and I am who I'm not
Heart-broken, distant, shameless, distracted
Feeling, tasting, sensing… touching
A warrior of light
A warrior of love
I am who I am and I am who I'm not
Emotional, passionate, avid… alive
Unfussy, playful, naughty
I am one and I am all
I am
A free spirit teasing life, challenging boundaries, breaking the rules…
Embracing individualism, celebrating differences…
In love with myself, in love with others
I am who I am and I am who I'm not
Part and parcel of the same energy

I am who I am and I am who I'm not
Heart-broken, distant, shameless, distracted

A warrior of light
A warrior of love
I am who I am and I am who I'm not

Unfussy, playful, naughty
I am one and I am all
I am

And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Beautiful!
you are the spectrum. you are the range. you are human. you are divine.
Cat: thank you for stopping by. I wanted to write this poem for a long time. We are who we are and we are who we aren’t … we are one and all! The secret of freedom and human peace
Badger: I love the quote from Whitman! Thank you for sharing.

I love the repetition for emphasis. I love how you show that it’s both who you are and who you are not that make a person. Wonderful poem.
All of us have so many layers, huh? huh :). Nice.
Beautiful, inspiring and oh so profound...This is a wonderful poem, suffused with such a poignant philosophy, that, in life, the greatest challenge is accepting ourselves for who we are. And when we do, it truly is perfection.
Oh yes, you are. And you truly seem to know it. :)
Wonderful poem. It's one a lot of us could write (but not as well). I've wanted to write one similar that says, "...the people who love me, don't really know me....those who hate me don't really know me..." - yeh, I know, it needs work.
Robert: I am who I am and I am who I’m not – is one of my mantras in life. Something I shall not forget.
She Writes: that is what makes as unique and interesting ;)
Sam: until we love who we are (as we are) we will not be able to love the rest of the world as they are. The challenge of unconditional love…
RA: I’m working hard on it… this thing of self-love is challenging ;)
Kass: I love your poetry; keep working on the poem, I really liked : the people who love me don’t really know me… those who hate me don’t really know me…
You can continue by saying: I don’t really know the people I love… I don’t really know the people I hate… Who are they? …. Who am I?....
Keep writing dear Kass, let your soul sing the song of love.

I am who I am not???? I'm really thinking on this because a way I can make no sense of it. Then again, I AM indeed what I am not...the parts that really are not who I wish to be, but am. (that probably makes no sense, but hey...I'm still working on it.)
Beautifully written.
It does make a lot of sense dear Annie... I’m also working on it ;)
