#179 Identity Harry Is A Poet

Who am I? Who are you?What are we? What shall we do?We've woken up a thousand times, emerged from slumberSometimes we wake up smarter, sometimes dumberBut normally, well, how to put this politely?Day by day we change ever so slightlyWe are constantly changing, such is our natureSometime change is small, sometimes an adventureBut why? Why do we change, and why does it matter?It's important because without it, life would be flatterThere would be fewer bumps, and far less noiseEternally living as girls and boysBut there's another thing to find far more interestingWhich gives a conscience far more testingSome people in life have pride and certaintyIn their current state and personalityBut honestly? We'll be different tomorrowDifferent things will cause laughter and sorrowIn areas of life we'd never even consideredNew experiences packed up and deliveredWe'd tackle new problems in very different waysIf we were older or younger by just a few daysSo what I'm wondering, with confusion but no rageWhat does it mean to 'be yourself', in this day and age?
