Joy Jeung Poet Free verse

I Am

Sometimes you need this thing called
Confidence, but it is hard to grasp
Like the slippery edge of the rice
Cracker packaging Summer ate
Yesterday. So to stand up in this
World and pour out enough courage
To hold a position next to everything
Else. 

Then pick flowers and clip them on to 
Your front pocket and make a grass hat
For yourself and receive a bouquet of
Tree roots to hold in your left hand. 

But first you should stand up. 
And then decorate yourself and look
Back at you.
