I'm a Name

Who are you?
Lindsey.
that seems like the easiest question in the world.
but its more loaded than that.
who are you means...more than your name. we are not defined by a name.
that is merely... a label of some sort.

So let's try this again.

Who are you?
I'm a dreamer.
i'm a liver, a breather, a sinner, a saint.
i'm a heart beat, i'm a nothing
i'm a something.
i'm... a particle. i'm an atom. i'm a body in a sea of bodies.
i'm a grain of sand on the beach.
i'm an idea
i'm a believer
i'm a doubter and a follower.
a leader.
i'm a voice
i'm a whisper
i'm a file in a cabinet.
i'm a ray from the sun,
i'm the air that we share.
i'm a singer
i'm a dancer
i'm a romanticist
in more ways than one
i'm a writer
i'm clingy
i'm attached
i'm alone
i'm happy
i'm sad
i'm a thinker
i'm a sleeper
i'm a comic
i'm a laugh
i'm a giggle
i'm a chuckle and a smirk.
i'm caucasion
i'm irish
i'm italian
i'm reader
i'm a name.
i'm a face
i'm a pair of eyes and ears.
i'm a nose and a tongue
i'm a soul
i'm a name
i'm a heart
i'm a lung
i'm a name
i'm a raindrop in an ocean
i'm a name
i'm a lover
i'm a name
i'm a name
sometimes, i am only a name.

but other times, i am all those other things.
i am more than a name
than a face
than a body.
i am a soul.

and one day...
i will find someone like me.
and things will be okay.
