Meant To Be

Meant to be.
Who!
Who
was I
meant
to be?
Is there
the one
perfect
me?
Who’s
to judge?
Who’s
to say?
Look
into the
mirror.
Is 
that the
perfect
me?
Made
different
choices.
Would
that then
lead
to a
perfect
me?
Who
could
I be?
Who
should
I be?
In whose
eyes?
Perfect.
Is there
even
such
a thing?
Choices.
Infinite
choices.
Infinite
me?
Perfect me
anywhere
to be
found?
Or,
am I
programmed
to be
just me?

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

A simple question with a complex answer that eludes us individually. And perhaps in many ways haunts us as well. Would we really ever know the answer because as you state there are myriad choices and possibilities? And only fate knows the outcome. Nothing wakes up the mind faster from the throes of dream than a profound question that begs for an existential answer. Nice work JP.
