abracadabra
April 25, 2014
we are told
to define
who we are
to show that
we stand out-
we are told
to shine.
here is who i am.
i am a mirage.
i am a shape-shifter
magician
a Harry Houdini
a who
will i be
today?
i am red
and blue
and green
and all of the
colors of the
rainbow.
i am a
chameleon.
i spinning
under flashing strobe lights
i am singing
melodies.
i am crying,
i am breaking,
i am falling.
i am shining.

"When I was a freshman in high school... I was fascinated by the idea of spoken word poetry. I felt that my two secret loves, theater and poetry, had come together and had a baby, a baby I needed to get to know." -Sarah Kay, spoken word poet from NYC
