Claiming A Self

We're different versions of ourselves all the time

With each interaction we learn and change

Every second we grow and age

Who we think we are is just a stage to host new plays from day to day

Leaving us to wonder where our newest thunder reigns best

With identity being no more than a strange confusing mess

A test we go through in exchange for refusing death

To see what else is left during life's strive and struggle stepping towards our final breath
