now, I am

I am who I am
I am who I was
but who I was, I am no longer
I am now who I wasn’t
now I will never be who I was
and I will always be who I am
but I will forever be who I am becoming
because I became who I am
because who I was
though I’m no longer that
its still a part of my story
and you will either accept all of me
or fragments-
just as I was
but that still won’t change me
what changed me,
was who you used to see
and what you used to see in me
but you can’t see that no longer
and that may scare you
because it could say more about you
and who you are
which could be the same
but the nature of life is change
most people live in fear because they project the past onto the present
if you live in fear
you may never be able to see me,
nor accept my change
but we’re all destined to evolve
regardless of my yesterday,
I am present
not stuck in past that no longer exists
so stop looking for me there
because you won’t find me
I can’t be two places at once
I am, now
