My Own Being Poem by Katie Huntress

as i sail across the ocean
as i fly through the sky
i see that i am me
and thats not going to change

as the years come and go
i am growing up to be
a person of my own being

i am at the age of 16
knowing in 2 years
adulthood is to come

i am not in a rush
i want to take one year at a time
pleading for the reason
of the meaning of life

i am young but i am old
i am creative but i am mindless
i am hateful but i am loving

all these things have
a meaning a purpose
to my life

whats is going to happen to me
in the next 5 years
i do not know
i wish i did, but its like a surprise
we have to take one day at a time
