I Am...


I am constantly rising to the occasion,

I am constantly making mistakes,

 

I am a perfectionist,

I am a procrastinator,

 

I am a blonde,

I am intelligent,

 

I am an American,

I am confused by government,

 

I am performer,

I am not a good singer,

 

I am a lover of roller coaster,

I am terrified of planes,

 

Above all though,

I am a Phoenix

I am a Phoenix who shines bright and slowly dims,

but also,

I am a Phoenix who rises from the ashes,

to shine again,

Nothing to stop me, or hold me down from my dreams,

I am a Phoenix.
