Who I Am

I look in the mirror staring at my reflection Wondering who I really am? I see my mothers smile and my fathers eyes but I can't see me, Who am I? I see my grandmothers cheeks and my grandfathers nose but I still can't see me, Who am I? I have my Memes hair and my Pepeirs ears I can see all of my elders but I can't see me, Who am I? I sat there in the mirror for hours seeing everyone that I love but there was still no sign of me in there. I closed my eyes and opened my heart wide feeling the love of my family while studying all their faces. As I opened my eyes and looked back into mirror it was then that I understood. All of those faces looking back at me is Who I am. I am all of them and they are all of me.
