I Am Not I by: Juan Ramon Jimenez. Juan Ramon Jimenez, a poet who was born in Spain in 1881. This poem embodies our inner-self, our true, authentic self. It is a testament to the inner conflict between our inner world versus our outer world and how we and they perceive who we are. It is a reminder to live life being comfortable with ourselves; to embrace our differences thus, allowing staying true to who we really are from within and from without.
