I feel my identity growing inside me

pieces of me falling like water –

dripping from a leaking faucet

 

my mind has gained all the knowledge

childhood and adolescents can provide

 

my trust is much more than it should be

because of the stability my family has given me

 

my physical body has not been enough

although its been bruised and frail – its visited only a few

physical experiences that one can remember in happiness

 

my emotional

side –

is often seen from the expressions my face sheds –

its felt pain, love, grief , passion, deceit, and understanding

 

with this face I want to be seen –

 

I want to experience and I want to feel

life considering existence

inside of me.
