Parts of Me
I am Katherine.
I am a writer,
A daughter,
A nerd.
I am addicted to stories in all of their forms
Drawn to celtic music
And laughter.
I am intelligent,
Artistic,
Mature.
But her?
She is Katie.
I am Katie.
I am a wall,
A soldier.
I protect Katherine when she wants to stay hid
I surface when she needs a mask,
A protector.
I protected her for years
Until she began to surface year round.
I will always be there to cover her
For I am her shield.
But her?
She is Calypso.
I am Calypso.
I laugh until I cry alongside friends I met
Yesterday.
And I love them, but when we part ways
I won't be sad to see them go.
I am known as the Apothecary,
The girl with the plants.
I am responsible,
And yet carefree.
My time is over the summers alone;
For the the rest I am but a passenger
Waiting for fires by the lake at
Midnight,
And to sing songs with
No meaning.
But her?
She is Ciara.
I am Ciara.
Lover of winds,
Cherisher of earth,
And keeper of strength.
I gaze at the moon at night,
And she looks down
With a loving caress.
I am a wordsmith,
An artisan; I craft.
I tend and harvest the plants
And marvel at the beauty of the
Smallest leaf.
But we?
We are Kaiti.
I am Kaiti.
I am a writer, inspired
By tales that reach me from this way and that
I am strong, confident
In that I will do no harm, but never back down
I am free, graceful
In my wild spinning that is dancing in its truest sense
I am peaceful, in awe
Of the swirling colors of life that surround me when I need them most
I am me;
Composed of they,
And I, or we
Are utterly beautiful in every way.
