your "I"s are certainly not clouded. Wish we all could see the naked truth of ourselves as you have. Really enjoyed it Keep on writing.

A beautiful introspective view of you.

I feel privileged to know your many "I;s" and intrigued by the ones you've yet to reveal.

Love you

~Shannon

Naz, This was one of the best poems I think I've had the pleasure to read, in a while. You say so much about how you (and each of us), are so many. I just read this, and felt warmth, joy and mystery as well. Fabulous write, my friend. The many "I's" you are, make you a wonderful brother and poet. Peace to you, man.

Yet all the I's make "You"!
as all my I's make me...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Introspective and seperated, but put together with class!

Naz,
Very well done. This poem really strikes me as a philosophical write. It deals very creatively with the who am i question as the I theme.

Ah yes, the many parts of self. A very interesting write, Nazzy

Naz,

The way you present the diversity of yourself, indeed all of us, is spell-binding. I often wonder how much of our potential do we utilize. There are all the parts, and then all the mediators to help us deal with the parts.

A challanging and thought provoking write. Personally I like what few parts I know, my friend.

Every one of us has such an array of different aspects inside ourselves, just as no person ever sees us as quite the same; but many of us do not have the self-awareness needed to be able to present these selves to the reader as eloquently as you have.

Wonderful read,
Take care,
Dom
