I Am

By Elena

Written as part of Sunset in My Heart

I am, the aquarium

I am, the fruit candy that you smell past the sweet shop 

I am, a long sleeve crop top

I am, steak

I am, shades of beige or brown

I am, my cat

I am, my cat whining

I am, the soft and light fabric 

 

No evenings are ever the same if you don’t cherish them

 

Someone you were in the past

Few months ago my family and I went to a beach hours away from home. The beach was in a isolated area with not a lot of people, it was pretty. Quiet, not a lot of people, flat and clean. It was only my family and my cousins during that trip. I think this event really summarised how carefree and relaxed I was in the past, as I went all out running on the beach and building sandcastles without a care about school work and the future.

 

Something that you value in the present

7 months ago I got my cat and it was the best thing ever. The cat was called Marbles and he is a white cat. He bullies me and abuses me. I value him because I begged for a cat and I don’t know how many years one little thing that really makes me value and cherish my cat is that he does little dumbs everyday. How he gets stuck in random places, slams into  corners, the faces he makes. These are only some things that my cat does that makes my day brighter.

 

Something that will never change

Something that will never change about me is my peaceful art, video games, and my pride. Art was always a place that I could share my ideas and draw whatever I was thinking. Video games and caring for animals had always been with me since I was little, so it’s kinda programmed in my lastly my pride will never change as it is the only thing that is making me stay away from questionable stuff like littering because whenever I see people litter my pride comes and tells me I’m too good to litter, I am better than that and my trash doesn’t go into the environment.
