You are
who you choose to be
or who you let yourself be
if you choose to be
you may live a life of crime, of hate
of spiritual redemption, of free love, of living in the moment
and if you let yourself be
if you strive for nothing
than you are just one person holding onto the rocky lifeboat in a swirling sea of change
a victim
day after day
angry at the world for not being fair
angry at yourself for not doing better
yet doing the same thing over, day after day
until you die, and realize in that moment, if i had to do it all over again, i'd do more, have more, be more.
So who are you - whatever to choose to be.
In the grandest game that is life
playing whatever role suits your personality, your style, and your level of effort,
where the possibilities, are like picking a meal at mcdonalds, except there's about 5 million choices.
Enjoy your happy meal, would you like fries with that?

You cannot not be you! You can eliminate the I, ego, desire, individual minded self but so long as you exist you will be a you or an us and until you become the origin of all of us you are merely a relative finite we which is still a you as opposed to a them!

I'm nobody. who are you? Are you nobody too? Then there's two of us--don't tell! They'd advertise, you know. How dreadful to be somebody, how tiresome, like a frog, to tell your name the livelong day to an admiring bog!

then you are a mind simply traped in a body or state that you cannot accept life will be hard challenging maybe depressing
or you should be your self so you can be who you are in a physical way also mental

I am not me - I'm currently what is leftover after so many people hacked away at what could have been me. I'm sure I could be me again, it might just take a while and some therapy.....

Everybody is nobody, nobody is everybody.
We are nothing, not even matter.
And who is you? Me? Who am I? I can't answer that, only the thing that created man can.
