Who am I?
Who am I?
As a child
Needing
Your unconditional love
to discover
who I am meant to be.
“Look at me mom!”
I am what I can do.
Taking my first steps
Jumping rope
Riding a two-wheeler
Swimming over my head
The applause.
I am what I accomplish.
What I am recognized to be.
Soloist in chorus
Captain of Cheerleading
Lead in the play
Straight A’s
Magna Cum Laude
The roles I play.
Daughter
Sister
Wife
Mother
Boss
Friend
Lover
Wiser
I begin to understand.
I am
wind dancing in the treetops
sun on my face
love in my heart
calm in my breath
purpose in my step
I
Am
Becoming
Unraveling
from who I thought I was
Who are you?
