Here’s a stream of consciousness type pondering inspired by comments on other Music & Identity submissions. Ever seen “Zoolander”? You know that scene where he’s looking in a puddle on the street and says “Who am I?” Very silly. So this is also inspired by that. I hope someone finds something in here useful…

Here’s a link to my remixed version featuring urmymuse and robwalkerpoet.

p.s. There are dry vox in the zip.

WORDS
Who am I?
We often joke in a silly whisper
When a new side of ourselves is revealed
Seemingly out of nowhere

But really, who am I?

A temporary being in a temporary world
A little sliver of this ever changing, never changing cycle
Nothing, Life, Death, Nothingness…
Or maybe even somethingness

Anyway… really, who am I?

Am I defined by my skin, my anatomy, who I love?
My socioeconomic status, political points of view?
My mental capacity, mental illness?
My culture, family?

What I eat, with whom I sleep?
What I believe religiously?

Am I defined by my past, present, future?
My dreams, my failures?
My strengths, my fears?

Who am I?
We often whisper as a joke

Who am I?
A person.
Just a person.

Who are you?
