Who I Am


I am the wallflower who at first

is warry to all that’s around.

I am the dreamer with a thirst

for the world in papers bound.

 

I am the reader in the sun

who falls in love with every story.

I am the child who is on the run

for the sun shines in all it’s glory.

 

I am the girl who hides from rain

and waits for the sun’s return.

I am the helper who feels others pain

and reaches out to sooth a burn.

 

I am the fighter who stands by your side

and keeps you standing strong.

I am the adventurer who's up for the ride

and has been with you all along.

 

I am the optimist who does not doubt

and tries sees the perks.

I am the learner who is always about

and asking how it works.

 

I am the worker who stays up late

until I figure how to make it right.

I am the inventor who tries to create

again and again with all my might.

 

I am the planner who thinks out far

and makes a plan to never miss.

I am the seeker who goes for the star

without being afraid to fall into the abyss.
