A questioning poem of the past, lightly reflecting on my inner struggle to find my place in the world. What do you see me as? I have a pretty face that giggles at everything. I have a body that curves in all the right places. My bronze skin feels like soft velvet in your hands. My lips are so soft, smooth, and firm against your mouth. My solid black eyelashes frame my dark brown eyes that like to look into yours. Who do you believe I am? I keep people happy while making jokes and laughing at everyone else’s. I thank janitors and school lunch ladies on a daily basis. I pick up other people’s lost trash and recycle at every opportunity. I comfort those who are sad; I calm those who are angry; I serve as a mediator to those who are fighting. I know I am pretty. I know I am smart. I know I am kind. I don’t quite know who all of me is. From this, I ask of you: Tell me, do you see through The cloud of blindness that surrounds me? How do you See me? Written 8/27/2016, during a time I was questioning myself and who I was supposed to be. I was wondering how I fit in the world I was in, and was asking for someone to give me clarity. I still have some of these issues, but I have since realized that my place in the world is more than what's been given to me. It's what I make out of it. As individuals we choose where we want to be, and we work toward that. Some people have not found their place yet, and that is perfectly okay. The important part is to remember that you need to do what you dream of doing. Always wanted to go on a solo date for ice cream and a good book? Do it. Want to visit a great museum? Be independent and do it. Do what makes you happy. Don't rely on anyone else for that, because you'll only be disappointed. Only you can get you where you want to be.
