Poem: Who Am I?: Just an Imagination | Exploring Identity and Existence

Who Am I?: Just an Imagination

Sometimes I feel that I am somebody’s imagination
just a soul overstaying
someone needs me around
they can’t go on without an image of me
trying to make sure that I don’t suffer,
fighting with god everyday to let me stay
posting letters to take care of me
until I stay and beyond to eternity if I go away,
whispering good wishes in my ears to fight against the world
only asking in return to have a 2 byte of space
in my heart for their permanent memory
I hope I don’t die before I wake
I hope my soul is mine to take
I don’t want to lose no gamble
so I stay on this earth keeping up my ramble.

“Who Am I?: Just an Imagination” is a poem that captures my thoughts and feelings about identity and existence. Through this poem, I wanted to explore the idea of being an imagined entity and the complex emotions that come with it.

In this poem, I express the feeling of sometimes being someone else’s imagination. It’s a strange and unsettling thought that questions the nature of our existence. The idea that we might exist because someone needs us around, that they can’t go on without an image of us, reflects the deep connections and dependencies we form in life.

The poem touches on the struggle to stay and not suffer. It’s about the effort and hope that someone is fighting for us, even if it’s a silent battle. There’s a sense of someone advocating for our well-being, which is both comforting and humbling.

Another central idea is the importance of memories and gratitude. The request for a small space in our heart for someone’s permanent memory highlights how meaningful relationships can be. It’s a simple but profound gesture that signifies lasting impact and love.

The poem also conveys a fear of losing oneself. The hope not to die before waking and to have control over one’s own soul speaks to the desire for autonomy and self-determination. It’s about wanting to live authentically and not be merely a reflection of someone else’s imagination.

Writing “Who Am I?: Just an Imagination” was an exploration of these feelings and thoughts. It’s a reflection on our identity and the influence of others in our lives. Through this poem, I hope to share the importance of self-awareness and understanding who we truly are.
