I Am

My journey so far.

I am my abusive mother,

Who put the work in,

To make my life harder.

I am my violent father,

Who taught me to look,

Deeper than the surface.

I am my terrible sister,

Who was never there for me,

When I needed her the most.

I am my foster father,

Who taught me

The meaning of love.

I am my tiny grandma,

Who never helped fight,

My lonely, lost battle.

I am my big, ol' grandpa,

Who always tried to

Stop the fighting.

I am my amazing aunt,

Who taught me to

Smile through the pain.

I am my lovely uncle,

Who taught me to

Never give up hope.

I am the cancers that killed

My amazing, graceful grandpa,

But has left me with happy memories.

I am the police 

That locked my parents,

Forever, and for life.

I am the great big judge,

Who helped me in court,

To fight the injustice.

I am my young lawyer,

Who helped my case,

And believed in a better life.

I am the teachers that have

Taught me, that we are 

Who we are inside. 

I am the principal,

Who always saw,

But never did.

I am my school's community,

Who have always hated me,

I never want to go back.

I am the anonymous influence,

Who taught me to face the world,

With courage this high.

I am the past that has

Created me, I am the

Present, in which I live in now.

I am grateful for the ride,

The experiences and

Everlasting memories, I will cherish forever.

I am ME, the poetry lover.

Who are YOU so far?
