Who Am I?

Choosing to cherish yourself amidst the drainage of a greedy system

After the game has extracted
the precious resources I bear abundantly,
who am I?
Am I the next victim in line?
Naïve. Thrilled to continue this cycle.

Who am I
if not the rare moments
I release it all
to choose my self?

Who am I
if not letting go
the things I have no control
that control much of me?

Who am I
if not these sudden decisions
that ultimately make me happy?

Who am I
if not a world on fire
a trigger pulling me into the dire
but I take a deep breath, I remember
right now I need to sit by the river
