the self

poem by: Jose Valladares
Written on Dec 03, 2016

        I am He who is.
A being with a soul, mind, and body.

I am He who knows myself, but who else truly knows me?
     No one else, but the self

I am He who loves myself, who else truly loves me?
    No one else, but the self

I am He who guides myself, who can better guide me?
     No one else, but the self

       My future is certain
 Death is certain for the self.
