~Who am I ?~

What I want to know
these days
is Who I am.

I have lived so far
to meet the needs
and placed a premium
on “how” and not
on “what” or “who”.

I have tried to find
how to live and
not to find the reason,
nor who I am.

I have tried to live
honestly and sincerely
without paying much attention
to the reason why.

I might have avoided
asking philosophical questions
as a matter of being a fool?

But now,
I want to know
who I am and what I am,
the reason for being.

Where I came from
and where I will go…
