I am

My inspiration for this was the church service on Sunday February 5th What stood out was this idea of titles and how we do not just define ourselves by our name.

Check out my sweet friend Becca and her amazing spoken word. So talented and brave. I was really inspired by her boldness and vulnerability. Vulnerability brings joy and freedom in the dark spaces of our heart. Thank you for sharing your heart Becca! 💕

I am
I am a human among animals
creating the past, living in the present
my photographs are in front of me
I look at the snippets of my life;
the first day of school seems like a blur
learning about words and numbers,
foundations of modern society

I am a kid among adults
finding our loves, studying the ancient
my work is now shown in the 2d
I see the hard work I created
the making of them went by so fast
dinosaurs and planets flashed before me,
building blocks of our natural world

I am a granddaughter inside a home
playing in the garden, laugh over lunch
my heart was full of joyful noise
I hear the words of advice
the moments have passed quietly by
happiness and family encompass me,
fundamentals of a chaotic landscape

I am a tween crossing the bridge
growing taller, not sure of myself
my emotions all mixed up; confused
I see of the tragedy that occurred
aftermath reverberates in my soul
making my voice a little bit louder
essentials to rock middle school

I am a teenager among millenials
becoming digital, discovering likes
my dreams brought to life
I try out many new passions; jumbled
is this the right path for me ?
doubts and fears slow to leave
places of a long journey

I  am a college student among intellects
starting a chapter, embracing a change
my stress is written in my face
I feel long nights ahead of me
the doing does not make me superwoman
books and papers danced inside my brain
starting point of my book has begun

I am a person among the masses
graduating into life, deciding on the future
my whole being tricked by the real world
I face the reality of what an adult really is
the definition just seems so American
bills and to do lists rule the clock
maybe one day I'll go back to school

I am a disciple of the other worldly God
learning about him, even more about myself
my words equal nothing without his truth
I keep stumbling on what I believe
the good enough will turn amazing
cards and letters are only temporary
yet being inside the bible is forever

I am a 12:2 member among peers
I am a grace member among locals
I use words in scripture and poem;
tracing my thoughts line by line
Psalms, John and Corinthians welcome;
a world of reflections into the human race
