I am what I am.
I am a paper waiting to be colored,
I am a worker dealing with the nonsense of Karens,
I am my glasses, yet wearing them still makes me blind to love.
I am with glossy lips but they are untouched,
I am in my room dancing through the dirty clothes and toys on the ground,
I am in the bathroom making up scenarios in my head, I am the main character,
I am coffee without sugar when feeling bored,
I am a bilingual person but hate when being told I should work as a translator,
I am sneaker shoes with a bodycon dress,
I am my coffee colored teddy bears,
I am SpongeBob SquarePants, without a driver’s license.
I am, like other students, feeling aggravated having to take courses irrelevant to my career,
I am holding on to someone who doesn’t want to hold on,
I am comfortable having doubts before making choices I could regret,
I am the moon and fluffy clouds.
