I

I am not my job
My thoughts
My identity—
Nationality or name

I am not the way
I respond
To success—
Adversity or stress

Remember me for faster sign in

Of course
I have behaviours
Preferences
And traits

But the ‘I’ stays—
Does not change
Is more abstract
Floating above—
And can not be touched

Providing
Freedom
And peace—
That lasts

What is the self anyway? Lalalala happy Wednesday morning.
