I Am

From dress-up clothes, Barbie dolls, and Disney princesses,

from make-believe, diamond castles, and Bibbiddi Bobbidi Boo,

from

laughter,

smiles,

and genuine happiness.

The feeling you get from laughing too hard that milk comes up your nose,

that cheshire grin you exchange with your sister after doing something mischievous,

the adrenaline of stirring up trouble, the sheepishness of getting caught,

the carefreeness of childhood days, the freedom from growing up.
