My Poems

I Am (original)

I am from neighborhood friends and backyard play;
pets and animals.
From a single kid to new best friends,
little crushes and big love.

I am from different schools and new mascots.
Making new friends,
yet remembering the old.

I am from arguments and fighting;
making up and bonding.
From broken pieces to new families,
and not being the only one anymore.

I am from settling down and moving again.
Growing up and with all boys on my street,
and having girl best friends.
Depression and sadness;
happiness and joy.

If you really knew me,
you'd know that I may break,
but I always pick myself back up again.
