sorry for this being so late...

Here is the poem that I wrote back towards the beginning of the semester. It is in some way a personal reflection of who I am and I attempting to make it more of a stream of thought exercise, rather than a polished product.

Me

I like the color green,

but don't always associate me with that color.

I love coffee,

but don't assume that I like it with creme.

I am a great friend.

and not.

I am intelligent.

and not

I am beautiful.

and not.

I am gay,

but don't assume that I'll sleep with you just because you're a guy.

I love to sing,

but don't ask me to give you an inpromtu concert.

I like to dance.

sometimes.

I call my parents.

not enough.

I am in love with the thought of being in love.

I have a boyfriend,

named Mint Chip ice cream.

I have dreams.

and lots of doubts.

I have big lips.

The better to kiss you with.

I have long legs.

The better to run away with.

I try.

To live.

And be.

That's why.

I'm me.
