Creating Who I am

There once was a young messiah
who travelled into my conscience
and sparked a new philosophy within my being

It's amazing how changing the way of thinking
is like windex on your window of seeing
the way the world is or who you are.

Despite the frisbees and windstorms and
banana peels that this LIFE presents to me
I am creating my all-weather all-terrain protective
gear of self-confidence, determination, and passion
to create WHO I AM

I am a nurse
I am an advocate
I am an artist
I am a vehicle for change
I am a mother of two dogs
I am a girlfriend, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a niece, a cousin, an aunt
I am a teacher
I am a curious girl
I am a dancer
I am a billboard of ideas
I am a critic
I am a proponent
I am a voice for my patients
I am in charge of creating who I am
