The Rubber Band Ball

I have a rubberband ball, it is small and insignificant

Each rubberband, like each person that I meet

will represent those people I care most about.

And it's name is going to be, Me

I start with me, for what other being can be of more importance

A bit selfish I know, but still we all need some arrogance in this world

I will surround myself with words of beauty

words that truly represent who I am and who I will become.

Then comes my family, not just the imminent but also those from afar

my parents who have tried to hard to raise me

My grandparents who care for me from the heavens

and all those members who have give me love.

Then comes my beloved, yes that guy that makes my heart skip a beat

I don't know if his name is current, or if it will change with time

But he has to be there, for he is the one that will complete me.

A man so gentle and caring, so understanding and so "him," whatever that means

Then comes my friends and professors, yes those who teach me

either on purpose, cuz it's their job, or without knowing, for I am a sponge

from my friends in kindergarten, you'll always be in my heart and memories

to my friends of the present, who I love dearly and love to laugh with

Of course there will be some rubberbands for those who disliked me

for my enemies, for I give them thanks for all the extra strength I gained

If it wasn't for my enemies I wouldn't have worked so hard to prove them

I am a better person, a smarter person, a bigger person, a person worth to know

Last but never least, a rubberband for my guardian angels.

My God that gives me unconditional love, and that accepts me for me

Even with all my faults, who only gives and doesn't expect much

Except that I give myself the opportunity to grow and follow in his footsteps

This is my rubberband. This is my hope. From my coworkers to that person down the street

to all the things the surround me, like birds trees and even the sky

From the books I have read, to the movies I have cried to

My rubberband is going to be the one and only, me.
