I Am Me

Who am I?

‘Tis the question that most are asked,

yet few can answer.

But, here’s what I think.

I am

the youngest in my family,

the baby, the smallest.

Fourteen . . .

Ten . . .

And nine

years younger than my

siblings.

I am

different than my family.

We share black hair,

but I have chocolate eyes

and my hair the longest,

while also the thickest.

My eyes shaped differently,

while my nose is not as

prominent.

I am

an athlete.

Running, shooting, digging

hitting, or serving.

Conditioning all summer

just to be broken during practice,

hurt and blamed every game.

I am

a apart of family.

With my mother,

My brothers,

sister-in-laws,

And nieces and

nephews.

I am

an undergraduate student

at Slippery Rock University.

Pre-medicine and Biology

go hand in hand,

yet a touch of theater

coincides.

I study long and hard,

I stress out

and freak out.

I am

an average person,

but little things make me

unique.

My quarks

define me;

They make  me different
than the person besides me.

This is who I am.

This is me.
