I am Undefined


I am a child because my mind is still that of one.

I've created stories beyond adult comprehension.

Some are real.

Most are imaginary.

 

I am a dreamer.

I dream of growing up smiling, laughing, just being happy,

Of soaring above the clouds and ruling the world.

My imagination has opened doors and led to new horizons.

 

I am a band nerd.

I'm not ashamed to say it.

Seven years of band and there is not a note I regret.

I have been raised with notes of wisdom and courage,

Gathering strength from the missed or wrong notes,

Appreciating dynamics and complexity of a piece.

I've learned to make it all count.

One, two te, three la li, four ti te ta...

From my directors to my competition,

Every last one of them brought me up.

 

I am only human.

Mountains and abysses stand before me,

Filled with curiosity, I always approach.

Sometimes I fall, but I am not afraid.

Sometimes I rise, but I stay humble.

The falls never punish,

Rather, they teach.

The rise doesn't carry forever,

Therefore, keeping us alert and on the lookout for the next fall.

 

I am compassionate.

I know life is not fair,

That it is not full of love.

So instead, I give love to all,

Those in need of it,

Those who seek it,

And even those who are believed to not deserve it.

But everyone deserves to be loved.

A smile, a hug, a simple "I love you."

Every day to everyone.

Sometimes the love you give is more than the love you receive,

And that is perfectly okay.

If I make one person smile, I have made a difference,

Even if that one person happens to be myself.

 

I am Analilia.

The child who isn't all grown up,

The dreamer with goals which will be met,

The student who let's her mistakes become a lesson,

The girl who wants the world to be a happy place,

The musician who is creating music and herself.

 

A definition limits the possibility of change.

But I change every day.

I can't place only one word to label myself.

I am powerful.

I am imaginative.

I am genuine,

I am analytical,

All that and so much more.

I have been carefully and personally crafted into who I am today.

I am not a word found in the dictionary.

There is not a word in any language to define me.

I am undefined.
