I Am

I am monumental and empathetic 

I wonder if centipedes have emotions

I hear words of encouragement from my mother

I see luminous rays charging from my laptop battling with my heavy eyes 

I want to have a prosperous year 

I am monumental and empathetic


I pretend to be an airhead 

I feel sanguine for the future, yet fatigued at the moment

I touch the ozone layer of the Earth when I accomplish my goals

I worry I will not attract enough people

I cry for anything that doesn’t matter but never something that does

I am monumental and empathetic


I understand that I will never fail with the safety net of my spirituality 

I say I am untouchable 

I struggle with finding something that sticks

I try to immerse myself in the knowledge around me

I hope I reach great heights in my high school career

I am monumental and empathetic


I remember euphoria as I swiped a brush of bright pigment across my eyelids and cheeks

I dream of infinite heaps of cash when I encounter smashing success as a scientist  

I care to never lose those that bring me light and to never stop bringing light to my family and friends

I succeed at being loyal and jubilant around my friends and family

I smile at the little things, even if it is a puppy passing by or my printer finally working

I am monumental and empathetic
