I am a child
I am all the things of my past
I am the hardworking soul of my mother
I am the responsible figure of my father
Never faltering in the face of danger
I am all I see
Flowers blooming before my eyes
And watching them when their time ends
Ads all saying the same things
TV shows on repeats
Leaves blowing on the hot summer winds
Birds eating from the bird feeder

Falling leaves from dying trees
I am all I hear
Rain pattering on my roof at night
Birds twittering all throughout the day
Leaves rustling in the trees
As the wind of the day blows near
Birds dropping pine cones on my caravan roof
I am all I feel and taste
The creamy taste of ice cream on the beach
The sand in my toes while sitting with friends
The warmth of my dog's fur as she lay by my side
The meaty taste of pizza, all so nicer with friends
The feels of claws as a cat climbs up my back
I am all I remember
A shack by the edge of a river
Where I caught my first fish
Laughing out loud with my best friends
As a first memorable moment of high school
Primary School best friends who I'll never forget
I am all I've been taught
Time management is critical'
Drugs are bad for you'
I am all I think
Live life to the full or you'll never live at all
Nature is the best way of calming
I am all these things
I'm like an unborn chick
As I push my way through the layers of my shell
But one day I'll push through the final layer
And be free
Because
I am the woman of the future
