An Ode to Myself
Hi
I am Veronica.
I am my fathers daughter.
I am my two brother's sister
I am a creature of this earth and
I am not a 4.0
I am hungry...
I am too lazy to get food.
I am chakos
I am tacos
I am the the sun that shines against my face, driving in my mom's convertible
with the top down.
I am LOTS AND LOTS OF CHEESE ON THAT BURRITO PLEASE.
I am an old soul
I am a 4 year old
I am acne abundant
I am a no-thigh-gap enthusiast.
I am green converse
I am go green please!
I am MORE PIZZA
I am one more slice
I am... Another slice
I am mint chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast everyday for 7 YEARS.
I am.... Lactose intolerant.
I am not a 4.0
I am superman
I am in love with myself
I am not myself?
I am not any type of shaped peg this hole has ever seen
I am my own hero
I am therefore I think
I am therefore I deserve everything
I am therefore I deserve nothing
I am ENOUGH
I am too much
I am not a 4.0
I am don't take up less space, this earth has room.
I am not a twig
I am a TREE
I am I SPEAK FOR THE TREES!
I am don't be afraid to be more than 100 pounds this world will never drop you
I am still struggling to believe this myself
I am I feel like I've been dropped
I am bruises
I am bruised
I am colorful
I am not dull
I am brilliant
I am brilliance
I am not a 4.0
I am "you need to calm down"
I am "why are you so quiet!!!"
Yo soy peruana
I am American
Je suis francaise
我是中国人
I am hard to understand
I am MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU
I am peace.
I am mad,
I am wild,
I am GO WILD
I am fight
I am don't accept the sadness
I am not flexible,
I am bendable
I've become blendable
I am so tired
I am SO ALIVE
I am not a 4.0
I am can't sit still
I am please don't let this moment pass
I am 3 A.M naked dancing to Barry manilow.
I am defined as undefinable
I am confused if I'm doing this existing thing right
I am a goddess.
I am physically spiritually and emotionally turned on by that broccoli
I am not a 4.0
I am "veronica, I wish I had your confidence!!!"
I am... an excellent actor
I am dramatic
I am the silence between applauses
I am louder than praise
I am SO IN LOVE WITH BEING ALIVE I FORGET TO LIVE
I am IF THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD YOURE TOO OLD
I am not a 4.0
I am grey's anatomy marathons.
I am mountains.
I am living in the wrong century
I am "anything war can do peace can do better!"
I am orca's
I am 4 sizes too big clothing
I am darkness
I am fat,
I am small hands,
I am weird nose,
I am chocolate gut,
I am this poem,
I am a mess.
I am not a 4.0
I am not a 4.0
I am none of your fucking business.
I am introduced to myself every morning
I am gloffidity!
I am made up words
I am made up,
I am improvising
I am leather jackets
I am tattoos
I am female Walter Mitty
I am Potomac, Maryland
I am Stuart, Florida
I am Shanghai, China
I am all over the place.
I am CARPE DIEM
I am my family
I am nothing like my family
I am my friends are my family
I am exactly like my family
I am free
I am speaking for myself
I am FINALLY MYSELF
I am unapologetic
I am me
I am V
I am not a 4.0
I am not a 4.0
I am not a 4.0
I am so much more.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
