To Know Me: Poem by Isidro Sid Martinez

To Know Me

I am spent on searching

for life's meaning,

yet not knowing

me.

I am wasted on thinking

that one can know,

yet not knowing

me.

I go on each day seeking

for some certainty,

yet not knowing

me.

What does it gain to know

to know anything,

yet not know

me.

Is there anything to know?

Can one find it somehow?

Can I ever know,

Me?
