I am made . . . by Rosa Simanowitz (13 years)

I am made of the winds ferocity
I am made of the leaps, the crashes, the rumbling of the waves I am made of hysterical laughter, rainbows, sunsets like autumn leaves I am made of a waterfall of tears flooding down my cheeks I am made of doubt, unanswered questions I am made of warm hugs, the welcoming scent of mum’s homemade rhubarb crumble floating up the stairs, the safety of my home I am made of dark nights, harsh words, feeling lost and alone - left out I am made of fear, and hope I am made of the uncertainty of the world and the certainty of my home. I am made of hard work, victories, ecstatic smiles I am made of defeats, sweat and tears I am made of not giving-in when times are tough, and kind gentle words I am made of soothing herbal tea that softens the firm crunch of a rusk, the unnerving creak of the old rocking horse’s hinges as we rock harder and harder still I am made of warm melodic melodies, the slam of a door, shouts of anger I am made of news stories of death, murder, violence, but never stories of peace I am made of litter scattered streets, fumes from cars clogging my lungs, coughing, wheezing I am made of a world where ice melts, fire burns, wind roars and water turns to oil. I am made I am made I am made |
