Who am I?

I am a delicate thread that connected me to you

I am water that flowed from the eyes when we emoted
I am the sound that emerged when we played …and argued

I am the helplessness of being misunderstood

I am the magnanimity of warm friends and givers

I am a surprise thrown by an occasional stranger

I am the heat of fights and passion

I am the hurt of unrequited love
I am the defiance of paternal
authority

and the apple of a grandfather’s
eye

I am joy that could make them
sing

I am a possibility of anything

My insides hold some people

and moments

and they hold potential.
This is what I am made up of

This is who I am
