Dynamic (poetry response)

The dynamic characteristics of one's own personality is epitomized and examined in W.S. Merwin's "To Myself." The entire reflection touches on the ever-changing self-conciousness that one experiences in the ever-changing relationship one has with theirself.

It seems to me that people are constantly searching for who they truly are and who they are meant to be. Some would argue that they never truly find who they are. Furthermore, due to the dynamic tendencies of who someone truly is, one can be constantly searching for something that keeps running away. However, I personally feel that nobody will ever truly understand who they are. They may decide that they are someone specific who's purpose is to perform a certain action, however there is always the chance that the person who is searching never truly acheives their intended actions.
