I Am Everything


I am a Mickey Mouse towel and big hair

I am my grandmother never cooking,

I am cleaning for money

I am the long grass

Behind the big moron house

I am Abundant Life, from shake it together and run it over

I am hurricanes and peanut butter sandwiches

I am road trips to Calvert,Texas and Candy’s Candle Store

I am “put it on the calendar” and “did you check the calendar”

I am "are you mixed?"

and " No I'm just light skinned"

I am  behave in public

I am from tickle fests and pain

From big cousins being big brothers

I am “I’ll give you something to cry about” and “fix your face”

I am a part of a loving family

I am an apple not far from its tree

I am the story within me

I am and always will be a girl with the Name of a city on her forehead

I am a bundle of what you think

I am everything.
