Describe yourself in a poem//

I am the sun waiting to rise — hoping to dim a little more unapologetically

Distanced from the past and everything it holds

A fleeting friend who wishes to care but possesses the inability

The mind which happens to know little but is not afraid to learn

A simplified math equation, yet difficult to solve

Disconnected from worldly affairs, slowly finding myself to be enough

The thread keeping the family together

My brothers’ favorite siblings, my parents’ savior

A hopeless romantic — it is love that keeps me alive

The jigsaw puzzle that takes weeks to figure out

Attached to books — even the ones that lay untouched

Confused between prayers that will bring me contentment and those that I must make

A story waiting to be discovered

An awakened soul just moments away from living
