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.
