Some say

I am

The spitting image

Of my mother—

Tan skin,

Petite frame,

We’re the same.

Some say

I am

The most intelligent

In the school—

Valedictorian,

Straight A’s,

Stressed days.

Some say

I am

The mother hen

To my friends—

Responsible,

Constant care,

Always there.

I say

I am

More, more, more—

Wondering soul,

Complex mind,

Tired of coloring

Inside

            The

                        Lines.

More, more, more

I am

More.
