I am...
I am a mess of brunette wavy hair, falling down my back in tangled curls and bangs constantly in my eyes
I am brown, tired eyes from the unnecessary late nights
I am pale skin that never seems to just tan but to burn then fade
I am sarcasm, and stupid jokes
I am your favorite song, that you can’t help but sing along to
I am your favorite pair shoes, worn and falling apart, holding stories within their seams
I am the campfire burning in the night's air
I am the summer nights spent searching for lightning bugs
I am countless movies and books
I am the hollowed out book resting on my bookshelf, hiding the things I hold close
I am the smell of flowers
I am the waves crashing on the shore of the ocean
I am world that is under the surface of water
I am the curiosity we are all gifted with
I am the late night drives taking you down paths you've never explored before
I am the wind pulling in the dark clouds and the smell of rain
I am the feeling of summer, and the hope for fun times
I am every wish, hope and dream that has passed through my mind
I am the thoughts of college and the worries and hopes I have for the future
I am the poems that I have written in my head but not on paper
I am the late nights with my friends spent laughing until we can’t breathe
I am the people I love
I am the art I create
I am the memories I've made
I really liked your poem, in a way, I think it matches your blog background...if that makes sense. My favorite line was, "I am the late night drives taking you down paths you've never explored before"
ReplyDeleteI like your blog background, too, and I connected to the line about the shoes "holding stories within their seams." I also like and can relate to the idea of "poems that I have written in my head but not on paper." And the people I love are so central to who I am as well. Thanks, Cora!
ReplyDeleteI like the line "I am the memories I've made." Also, yes, you are all sarcasm and stupid jokes. I agree. Ya dork.
