Who I Am

I am still crisp autumn leaves,

I’m sketchpads, novels, and Youtube.

I am still the sand on the riverside,

Mixed tan and gray,

Perfect for tanning and reading with Britt.

Now I am driving the boat

With my whole entire family

Watching a unique sunset every evening.

I am Lean Pockets and spaghetti,

Ghost Adventures and Mythbusters.

My room is my own small safe haven,

And Grace’s is a regular hangout.

We chill out whenever we can.

I am nerdfighting and wheat, ham, and swiss,

Trying to sing with my friends is a blast.

I am an artist with gels pens and pencils.

I like to read books that are fiction,

Things from other times and ways of life.

Bella and Edward’s forbidden romance,

Harry Potter’s Firebolt and his fight

With Lord Voldemort.

John Green’s Alaska makes friends with a dork,

And Katniss Everdeen survived the Hunger Games.

She made me want to save the world.

I am chemistry, karate, and band class,

Driver’s Ed, though I’m scared to drive.

I go to the mall with my friend after school,

Shopping for clothes and music

And wandering in circles.

I like to play fetch with my cat, her name’s Leia.

She sits on my lap and purrs like crazy.

I love her like she is my very own sister.

The most important thing in my life

Is my friends and family, and

Of course my schoolwork and band.

Stress levels are high, but life is still good,

I love being the person I am.

But I’m still growing up,

I’m still making memories.

Where I’m from is who I am.
