Who Am I

Am I the woman some call mom,
Am I the partner one calls wife,
Am I the old person called granma,
Is this what consists of my life?

How can I be mom when I'm still 16,
How can I be wife when I still have dreams,
How can I be granma when I'm not yet old,
This life gets confusing it seems.

I know these adults calling me mom are mine,
This man beside me belongs to me,
These little ones, they love me unconditionally,
But does anyone know who I really may be?

I suppose I must be all these things,
And yet... I just have to ask
If I am truly who they think -
Why do I wear this mask?

Why do I long for far away places
And spend all my time in a dream?
Why do I hide beneath this mask
And not be what I seem?

Oh... I am more than you'll ever know,
Much more than what you see.
My heart is filled with love for you -
I yearn for you to be with me

Yes... I am mom and wife and granma,
I'm a sister and a friend, These things are true,
But in this soul and 'neath this mask
I only belong to you
