349 Where are you most yourself?

[singindemonhq]

Where am I most myself? What kind of question is that?

Which self?

I’m myself (in a way)
In the place where I bide.
There are selves that I show
There are selves that I hide,
I’m a wonderful dancer
The star of the show,
I sing easy and often
I come and I go.

I’ll reveal certain things
(Sometimes when I take pride
It’s the nearest I may come
To “courting” a bride,
But the things that I sing
And the words that come bidden
Are as part of myself
As the things that are hidden.)

I’m myself when at home
I’m myself when abroad,
I’m myself entertained,
I’m myself when I’m bored,
I’m myself when alone
I’m myself when with you
I’m myself when I’m vague
Or when I’m singing true.

I’m myself when I’m working
Myself when I play,
I’m myself when I act
In my role for the day.
I have so many selves
But they’re all part of me
As the droplets of water
Are part of the sea.
