Who Am I !

Li-Ann Claassen 1985 (willowmore)

Lyric
Who Am I !                                                   
Sitting on top of a mountain grey
Cropping all the fear and pain
Wipe my tears and smile again
For so many years I am  pushed away
 Daddy please wont you stay
But you walked away with no regrets
Live your life but leave us to die
For so long i am searching,searching for who i am
I was asking myself questions but couldn't find the answers
Am i a doctor a healer,
Am i a nurse or a cleaner
Who am i!!!
I've search for so many
A house a car and money
But still couldn't find
Today I've realized who i am  
I am a writer a poet !!  
Who are you?
