I am my mother's daughter
I have her patience
I have her kindness
I have her warmth and heart
But I am also my father's
I have his name
I have his resilience
I have his eyes and his face
Yet when I look in the mirror
I am not one or the other
I am not my mother or my father
I am just me
I am myself
With my own reflection
My own fears
My own rage and self destruction
I am my parents' child
But I am also my own person
I do not need the world to tell me who I am
I may be a product of two people
Yet ultimately I am not them
I am not just someone's daughter
I am someone
Someone who is capable
Someone who is human
Someone who makes mistakes
Someone who is fragile too
I am not just anybody
I am me.
