True Self

Does anyone really figure out

What her true self is in her life?

Who one is shaped by nature & nurture

Over which no one has any control

How could one have a true self

When one lacks any control in

Shaping life’s events?

Even if somehow manages to

Figure out a true self

Is there only one true self or

True self shapes itself in relation to others?

When one’s self is only validated 

In the presence of others

What True Self are we talking about here?
