Four-Way Stop

Too young to ask the right questions
Or read the map and find my direction,
I wouldn't listen when anyone told me
What I was going to be.

With some lessons unlearned, in my mold unset,
My mind moved as quick as it ever would get
Toward trying to couple–but alone, to define:
Who am I?

Finding answers built on foundations unsound
Or talents no longer possessed, broken down,
I had to take years to take stock, try to see:
What can I be?

In a world built for thinking in ways that I can't
Surrender is tempting, but even if I rise above that,
I still can't help wondering what's wrong with me.
Who should I be?
