Lifeline: Poem: Journeying

Who am I

To live as if I am dead
To live as if no one cares
To live as if there is no one who loves me
To live as if the world owes me something
To live as if I deserve what I have without gratitude?

Who am I

To live only for myself
To live ignoring those who care
To live without being present
To live in resentment?

Who am I

To hold on to a past that brings me death
To hold on to people who are free to be without me
To hold on to anger that creates bitterness and darkens my soul?

Who am I

Not to accept forgiveness and forgive others
Not to accept love and love others
Not to accept that I am enough and so is everyone around me
Not to accept how fearfully and wonderfully I am made and so is the person next to me?

Who am I

But a person on a journey
Walking slowly to eternity

Which way I live and not live
What I hold on to and let go of
What I accept and not accept
What I live for and not live for

Will determine my final destination
