I am a piece of everything beautiful in the world that is why I am larger than you
I am everything in my past My childhood house rests on my shoulders The neighbors' yards, no boundaries I am a Chinese maple tree, with stairs in its boughs I am those first stars
I am the water fountain outside that I made a wish in thirty minutes ago I am the portrait artist who tries to catch twinkles inside your eyes
I am the wings of all the last breaths of flight I am the child skipping without reason I am a gentle newborn sigh
I am the Virtuous Lion outside The New York Library I am the angel who pushes shadows out of harm's way
I am the moon shimmering on the pond The stick the dog laps into its happy mouth I am the moment before two hands join
So as for your comments: "Look at the Fat Girl," "You have such a pretty face, if only you would lose weight", "Such a face, gone to waste"...
They reflect back to you... for I am a mirror among precious other things
Yes, I am the fat girl and... "I am".
I am
