Identity

What color
What shape
What size am I?

I can't tell
I just can't wait
I want to know

How gentle
How Loving
How soft am I?

Let me know now
Tell be who I am
Tell me who I will be

Am I young
Am I old?

God help me
I don't know

I can't decide for myself
So don't tell me I can
I'm lost
In the dark
And I need to know who I am

So tell me
Please
Give me a hint

Ryme me a Ryme
Sing me a song.
Light me a lantern
Lead me along

Give me hope
God knows I need it
and give me a path
But most of all

Give me an identity
One I can hold
Give me a purpose
to keep on going

Love me
Hate me
Hold me
Push me

I don't care
as long as you make me

    Nice Piece

    This was a great read. I love the feeling of a person who is just finding them self. Even tho the feeling of trying to find themselves is not a good feeling at all. Good luck in the contest.
