I Am Me
Location
I am me, the one and only.
The infant who cried, the toddler who hurt.
I am me, the one who learned the ABC's
and count to three.
I am me, the doodler, the reader and the nerd,
the silent artist in the corner in elementary
with hair in my face and no confidence to show.
I am me, the free spirited but shy middle schooler.
The girl who made friends but couldn't hold on to them.
The girl who had a crush but couldn't tell.
But then everything changed.
I made new friends, ones who would be everlasting.
I spoke more and interacted.
High School came and I became the rebel in the family.
The punster of the group of friends. The musician. The writer.
But a new chapter will start in my life and I have also become the worrier.
The stresser who ponders about how my life will be.
Will I be a doctor or a wanderer?
Will I be married one day or a cat lady?
Afraid of the future
but reflecting I am still me.
I will be ready because though time has aged me and I've grown more personalities,
no matter the future, I will still be me.
