My Life

The instructor said 

Go home and write 

A page tonight. 

And let that page come out of you— 

Then, it will be true 

Here I am, sixteen years of life following behind me  

Born and raised in Moreno Valley 

From Sugar Hill, to Vista Heights, and now at Valley View 

My family supporting me through everything I do 

With 2 brothers and 3 sisters, me being the youngest of them all 

It’s easy to ignore responsibility, however, my mom is protecting us from above 

Although shy at first, I become extremely outgoing  

To the point where my friends think I’m annoying 

I roll the windows up then I sing and burp  

And scream when they touch my neck, yet it doesn’t hurt 

They ask what I like to do 

I say I’m a dancer, I dance, and did I mention dancing? 

I like to sleep and joke and eat fettucini Alfredo 

I do hate seafood and soda, though 

How are you different? Is what some like to say 

And I reply back “I can put my leg behind my head and bend it the other way” 

I can touch my head to the floor  

While my feet remain intact 

I can play peek a boo with my feet 

Because of the flexibility in my back 

Now some may say it’s weird 

But to me it’s only normal. 

we all breathe and share the same air 

And we all have eyes and noses and some kind of hair 

We may be different 

 but we’re all human beings
