I Am

I am the infant girl born in Kansas into a family of a mother, father and son, who smiled for the first time only minutes after birth and later cried when the 3rd boy was born.

I am the kindergartner who loves ballet and a boy named Brett.

I am the tom boy who all the boys love, but she thinks they are yucky.

I am the young teen that is scarred by someone that is suppose to protect her.

I am the 15 year old that lives with a 25 year old man.

I am the homeless teen that drifts between family and friends.

I am the teen mother that gives birth all alone while sitting on a bathroom floor, and later will hold her 1 month old son in her arms as tubes are pulled from his mouth.

I am the teen mother who weeps with a dead son in her arms.

I am the teen that gives up on happiness, who drinks and junks to forget.

I am the teen who cares nothing about herself, and has sex out of spite.

I am the teen mother who gives birth a second time, and refuses to bond with a new son.

I am the 20 something that finds love without drugs.

I am the 20 something woman that falls in love with all 3 of her living sons.

I am the 20 something woman that gives up convenience, and finds happiness in hard work, despite sacrifice and loss, and finds beauty in the simple things
