i Know Not Who I Am

i know not who I am
for i am not who i seem.
For to know me by name
or to know me by face
is not to know Me at all.
i know not who I am
for i am no one and
I am everyone,
which are the same
and not the same.
i know not who I am
for i need not know.
For to know Myself
Would be a distraction
for the journey i am on.
i know not who I am
for one cannot know
the true self.
But searching for the true self
will always be the goal.
i know not who I am
for I am a work in progress.
And when I am finished
I will be no more
for the journey was the goal.
