Who Are You?
Who are you?
You’re not the number of pounds you weigh
nor the size of your designer jeans.
You’re not the height of your body
nor the price of your new shoes.
Nor are you the color of your hair
or the grade you get on your next Algebra exam.
Who are you?
You’re not the amount of money that your parents make
nor the membership to the gym.
You’re not the neighborhood you live in
nor the car you drive.
Nor are you the eyeshadow over your eyes
or the position as the captain of the basketball team.
Who are you really?
You’re the songs on your iPod
and the photos you took with your camera.
You’re the stack of your favorite books on your nightstand
and the cup of hot cocoa you love on a chilly winter day.
You are the people you love
and the places you’ll go.
You are the wishes you wished upon a star
and the hard work and kindness that is so prominent in everything that you do
you are you...
