Who Am I?

Who am I? - - - - - - - - I gaze upon mountains and waves I gaze upon rivers and ocean Pass by and wonder who am I? I gaze upon the sky and the sun I gaze upon stars and the moon Stand still and wonder who am I? I gaze upon bees and butterflies I gaze upon birds and trees Pause and ask myself who am I? As I am a stranger to myself And they asked me be yourself And I am embarrassed by my ignorance Of myself, the perpetual problem of self I am a mere skin-bag Of flesh, blood, bones and muscles And they said it a mistaken notion To achieve any task better know yourself Like a stranger, throw yourself Across a room and steadily gaze at it And you will eventually gain largeness But I am a feeble and unlearned man Had I been taught And trained to understand self I could be living with serene minds And smiling faces Instead of gnawing anxiety And frowning foreheads I suppose it's bad advice Or I don't know who am I yet?
