A Poem by Me!
Who I am
They ask me to write down
Who I am
And I think
And think
Very seriously
And consider
Writing down the truth
And have my answer read
I have the sun shinning in the sky as it falls
down to sleep. Barefoot and running down the
hill. The cold water freezes my feet as soon as
they touch. I look in the sand for shells, and
swat at the mosquitoes coming out for their
dinner.
I sing along with the radio, why floating on a
raft. The Jamaican beat makes me want to dance. I
feel the warmth of the sun on my back.
I day dream of traveling, too far and near
places.
The chocolate melts in my mouth as I dance, free
and wild. Singing loudly to make the sadness go
away. And to help me feel at ease.
They ask me to write down
Who I am
And I think
And Think
Very seriously
And consider
Writing down the truth
And have my answer read
Neighbors saying she is out playing. Draping the
blankets across the trees using my mom’s pruners
going to the field next to the woods cutting the
merry gold stalks.
Going to the stream fetching water in the
buckets. Taking it back to my fort and cooking
dinner for my fairy friends.
Dreading the bell as it rings. Teachers saying I
have to go out. Running to the tires on the
playground. Hiding in them until the bell rings
again. Listing to the kids laugh and play wishing
they would let me play with them. Crying in the
tire talking to my invisible friend.
Feeling anger toward a school for all the hell, it
put me through. Feeling anger toward its kids.
Being scared that some one was talking about me.
Being quiet as a mouse scared to look at any one.
Starting to believe in myself. Starting to not
care what anyone else thought. Being popular and
loving the attention.
Living by the moment.
Loving all of life.
Feeling secure and safe again.
Being able to go out with friends.
Having fun just reading a book.
Loving all the music, singing, and dancing when I
have a chance.
But I stop
And simply
Lilo
I wrote this for my tribes 4 year anaversiry!
