i am not, i am

i am not my father.
i am not my mother.
i am not my sister, my brother, my aunts, nor my uncles.
i am not my wife, my children, or any of my friends.
i am not a man, i am not a woman.
i am not a child who thinks he can, nor am i any wiser because i think i cannot.
i am not a teacher, a pupil, an apprentice, or slave.
i am not a king, a fool, or a cunning knave.
i am not even who i am, nor who i was, or who i am becoming.

yet,
in a way,
i am all of them.
