Who I Am

This is who I am, who I want to be

Who I Am
500 pix

I'm an introvert

I like to stay inside

and read sometimes

I used to be really shy,

but I'm coming out of my cocoon

so I can fly free and become a butterfly

My true colors come out

blue, orange, yellow, green---

the limit doesn't exist

with all those colors that are vibrant,

Put all of them together so it spells ''ROY G BIV"


I'm a writer and a poet,

but before I didn't know it

I guess you could say words are pretty important to me

I'm just a kid who loves rhymes and gluing words

and hearing poets and rappers bust out a poetic verse


Math and science aren't my strong suits,

but art and music always will be connected to my creativity

at least, that's what my closest friends know about me


I have some rainy days and sunny days

but that doesn't stop me from wanting to play outside

and stay up late to see the sunset

or wake up so see the sunrise

I know both are a beautiful sight to see

There is no need for a debate

for who agrees or disagrees

which one is better

because both are a part of nature


The moral of the story is

I've been through a lot,

But that doesn't mean

I didn't have positivity and support

to fill that gray slot


I have found people who have made me feel more confident

Worth it

And help me stay true to my significance


I'd love to travel and see the world

so one;

I can change the lives of others

and two;

to simply experience

what it's like to see an incredible view

from the mountain top to below the sea

and to most importantly, taste all the yummy food

that the locals have to offer me


This is who I am

I'm still figuring out who I want to be

Luckily, since I'm still at the golden age of nineteen

I have time to resurface my youth before entering my twenties


I want to discover more of the world

so everyone can listen to what I have to say,

which will always end with,

thank you, and have a wonderful day

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
