i am.
am fifteen
am to young to know what life is
am peanut butter fingers
am orange peel smiles
am starry eyed

i am.
am a straight A student and an A+ slob
am graphic tees
am the ceiling fan in my room that no longer works

i am.
am every ice cream flavor imaginable
am the drip drop of rain
am the gaudy neon lights of my city

i am.
am a closed book
am the distance to pluto and back
am the tightening of lungs when they hear bad news

i am.
am fucking afraid to speak whats actually on my mind
am two inches too deep
am afraid
am afraid
am afraid

i am.
am the veins of this body
am the firmness of my feet
am walking the same path but never feeling the same

i am.
am a little bit of my mother and a bit too much of my father
am my sisters quick tongue
am my brother infectious laughter

i am.
am black holes and stardust
am bonfires growing inside hearts
am not the one who can hold the world but can change it

i am
not a forest fire
not a waterfall
not a hurricane

i am
a starting ember
a trickling stream
a soft drizzle

i am what i am
but i will grow
