WHO AM I?
By Kelberlin Tejeda

I’m a Bird in the Sky

With no wings and one eye

That’s conjugated with puss and fogginess

Who am I?

I’m the seed that needs water,

Light, growth, and love or

Will it die out of no love?

Who am I?

I’m the heart that’s broken

Still running for success

Who am I?

I’m running like a turtle or

Jumping like a bunny for

Exciting love or slowing down

Out of no love

Who am I?

A woman that bends for others

While they fold on her

Who I am is a woman

That can’t hear but she sees

And shines in the room

Wherever she goes

That’s Who I am
