Where I Am

I am Sweet tea in summer.

I am long nights of sleep.

Sundays watching football,

Working too long of shifts.

I am a dusty book on a shelf,

Abandoned but waiting for a chance.

People try to tell me who I am,

But I do not listen.

I am overpriced school lunches,

Xbox at midnight.

I am college applications,

Doritos locos tacos with no lettuce.

I am walks in the park with the soft breeze.

Creative writing, psychology.

I am an old tile hallway,

People walk over me without notice,

But yet I remain.

I am Chick-Fil-A on Wednesdays.

I'm the hero Gotham deserves.

But not the one it needs.

I am a fighter, a champion,

Always jumping up after I'm knocked down.

I am not Michael Jarvi,

But I wish I wrote like him.

I am country music,

Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood.

I know not where I'm going,

But at least I know where and who I am.

I am Austin.
