    who to be
    I am not who I want to be

    I do not feel like me



    I‘ve been molded by society

    and the rules are controlling me

    I’ve not been who I want to be

    I wish I knew what I want for me



    I want more determination

    but I wonder if within the duration

    of the rest of the time I have left

    will I be me or will death take my life by theft



    I may change my life one day

    and maybe then I will know what to say

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
