I am me

I climb mountains 

I wear long sleeves

I look up and see stars

always tripping over my feet 

I am curly

I am bright 

I am blue

I am a tarnished dime

I am a silver penny 

always lonely in a full room 

and nothing you assume

I am a secret 

I am a stare

I am a breeze blowing your hair 

dizzy, light, and free 

I am a gardenia 

growing in my mother's garden 

strong, simple, and sweet 

somewhere lost and faraway

where everyone's here to stay

I'm a dolphin in deep blue waters

who never learned how to swim 

I am willful 

I am tired 

I am me
