Identities: a poem

Searching for who I am
   trying to find a face that fits
       a voice
          a smile
             a style
what do I look like?
         sound like
           be like
trying on so many selves
    like so many pairs of shoes
        which one fits?
           what is my identity?
                which self am I?
I can never tell.
     so I keep them all close by
         to exchange when the time is right.
because in all those selves
    at the core of so many beings
I can't let go, of anything.

Whoever I am
     I am not alone.
