I Am Who I'll Be
Raven hair
My canvas is big
My fangs are sharp
But my mind is sharper
My skin is pale, but my veins are paler
I’m neither mystical nor magical
Extraordinary nor extravagant
But me I am and I shall be all that I am of me.
Raised up from nothing more than a mere soul
Given a name
An identity
A home.
But even those do not define me.
I am defined by my laughter
Expressing jubilance at life’s simplest things
Crying over beautiful men who dance and sing
Smiling without showing any teeth
Frolicking in and out of daydreams
Breaking free from tightly bonded seams
I am not disobedient
Nor am I submissive.
I am simple yet cryptic
Ambitious yet lazy
My adjectives and verbs speak for themselves
Without me opening my mouth
I have not changed the world
Yet.
But with these hands and fingers
Feet and toes
Thoughts and emotions
I am me
And I shall be all that I am of me.
One day, everyone will see.
