A Mix

My face is a mix of my parents'

I have my dad's eyes

And hair

I have my moms features

And skin tone

But it all pulled together

To make my face

My face with brown hair and eyes

Pink lips

And light olive skin

 

My mind was made by my mom and dad

I'm stubborn like my dad

And anxious like my mom

I'm also as determined as my dad

And as thoughtful as my mom 

I have opinions and ideas

Fears and concerns

My mind is bits and pieces

From my mom and dad

A mixture of both

 

My mom and dad like different things

I like both

I like the thrill of snowboarding

And sitting on the chairlift with my dad

I like getting lost in books

And holding hot cocoa in my hands as my mom holds her coffee

But I also like

To share my thoughts

And write about what I like

I like to listen to music

And hanging out with friends

 

I'm a mix of my mom and dad

I have a bit of their features

That tied together to make

The face that I see in the mirror each morning

My mind is like both of there's

With my stubborn and anxious tendencies

That created the business

In my brain

I like the same things as them

I like the thrill and stillness

Maybe the fact that I like those things

Contribute for my love of other things

 

I'm a mixture

Created with bits and pieces

Of my mom and dad

But in the end

I'm just me

  • My Hair and My Eyes

    My hair is brown

    It doesn't have highlights

    Or a red tint

    It doesn't shine

    In the sun

    It's just brown

    It's not long

    Or layered

    There's no light brown

    Hidden in the dark brown

  • A Story About A Girl

    Let me tell you story

    A story about a girl

    Who had the same longing for adventure

    As little Red Riding Hood

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl

  • Gotten Good At Pretending

    I've gotten pretty good

    At pretending

    Some nights

    I fall asleep

    And wake up with 

    Red puffy eyes

    But I go to school

    With a smile on my face

    And hope no one notices

    That a bit of light
