Who am I?

Have you ever wondered what could the answer to this question be?

Last night I randomly picked out a book from my library at home and decided to read the first 20 pages of the book to kill my boredom. I picked up Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. By the time I reached the fifth page, I was completely absorbed into it. I came across this question "Who are you?" asked to Sophie in an anonymous letter, and couldn't help but ask myself the same.

Who am I? I asked myself, and the very first answer that came to my mind was, "I am Alisha Thomas!" But then, I went on to think, who the hell is Alisha Thomas? It was then that I sat down and began writing the answer to this question and to my own surprise, I could define myself in more than fifty different ways!

Sometimes, out of the blue when we sit down and let random thoughts into our minds, we'd be surprised at how creative we can get, and to what extent we can explore possibilities within ourselves.

Long Days

There have been long days in my life before,
But not a one like this;
So dark, so lonely, so painful n harsh,
That the ones before seem like bliss.
I was sitting in solitude,
And thinking about the past;
Memories that I want to forget,
But in my mind they seem to last.
In anticipation that the sun will shine,
And the darkness pass away;
I wait for you to walk in n smile,
And make my heart sway.
But alas my waiting is all in vain,
'Cause you never come;
I wonder about our love,
And what it has become.
The long day has still not ended,
For I am still waiting;
I'm waiting for you to come,
Come home to my love n back into my life.
