I Am

I am

I am a strong young woman, looking for her place in this world

I am a small child, yearing to stay within arms reach of her mother

I am a middle-aged woman, still trying to figure my life out

I am a 87 year old grandmother, trying to make the most of my days.

I am

I am a music addict

I am a believer in love

I am an animal advocate

I am a "teacher's pet"

I am

I am a daughter

I am a sister

I am a grand-daughter

I am a niece, a cousin

I am 

I am stronger than I thought I was

I am alive 

I am all of these things 

I am a melting pot of the entire world

I am the one who sees it all, yet pretends I don't

I am me.
