“I Am”

“I Am”

I am a spark in the silence,

A dreamer with feet on the ground.

I carry stories in my smile,

And questions that never stop circling around.

I am soft like the dawn, yet strong like the storm,

A mix of colours no box can contain.

I stumble, I rise, I learn, I repeat,

Every fall makes my rhythm complete.

I am not finished, I am learning each day,

Chasing the light in my own quiet way.

A journey, a song, a heart on the shelf

This poem is a mirror,

A poem of myself.
