I Am Made
April 2, 2011
A flag
A name
A home
Sure, they make me
But what sets me apart?
Third culture kid
Longing for expression
Confused by peers
And high school.
I am made
From the girl who pushed me away
Close friend
Rejected
Don't know why
I am made
From words
From thoughts
From a mind open to
Capturing
This world
I am made
From mistakes
From lessons
Not taught in class
I am made of a dream,
A hope for the future
To make a mark on this world
I was made from my parents
But in turn
I made myself.
