All That I Am


I am every cell of my body that makes me

Alive

I am every strand of DNA that is different

From every other human being on the planet

I am more than my biological structure

I am the love put into a 3 AM hug

I am the compassion and caring of a kiss on the forehead

I am the 12-episode television show binges on the long weekend

I am a midnight pizza run

The night before the first midterm in December

I am failures

Heartbreaks

Tears

Laughter

Hugs

I am friendship and

I am different

I am content with everything that I am

I am biology and chemistry and physics and evolution

But

I am also more

I will always be more
