I Am

I am every mistake I've ever made. I am every tear I've ever cried. I am every heart I've ever broken, and every heart that's broken mine. I am every person I've ever affected. I am every song I've sang in the shower. I am every book I've ever read. I am every song I've ever played in marching band. I am every failure, every victory, every tie I've ever had. I am the little girl I babysit down the street. I am the geometry class I take a nap in everyday. I am the future, the past, and the present. I am the rain drops before a rainbow. I am everybody who has ever left me, and everybody I've ever left. I am every picture I've taken, every song I've written, and every word I've spoken. I am every mistake I've ever made. I am every kiss that took someone else's breath away, and those who took mine. I am every day I spent at Maple Valley. I am every friend I've ever made. I am under the sea, the circle of life, and all the colors of the wind. I am an avid MLIA reader. I am every time I cried at the end of Harry Potter. I am that nerdy girl, the popular one, the shy one, the wild one. I am the your best friend and your worst enemy. I am a lover and a fighter. I am every race I won. I am a collection of everyone who has influenced my life. I am every joke I've ever told, and every time I've gone silent with laugher. I am every fear I've ever had. I am every choice I've ever made. I am every breath, every second, every minute of my life I spend being myself. I am all and none of the above.

I am.
