I am
(I find)
The you
That You
Made me
To be
And/But/Also
A messy compilation
Of all the bits and bobs
(for good and ill)
That others
(mothers fathers sisters brothers aunts uncles grandmas grandpas friends foes related or not)
Rubbed off on me
I need
Spring cleaning!
Sorting out!
(which bits to keep
which bobs to discard
which bits to treasure
which bobs to bin)
I want to be
Fully the me
You made me
To be
Spring cleaning
