Why/How is one's personal identity worth fighting for?
One's personal identity worth fighting because it makes them are, and differs them from everyone else. One's personal identity is what stops them from blending into crowds, and becoming someone else. There would be nothing to distinguish you from the crowd. When your the same as everyone, then you are just plain, and boring. Nothing interesting to find or befriend. You can never truly let your identity, it's something stays with. Everything around you can change, your hair, your eyes, the cities, even other people can change what they show to the world. And losing it means losing everything you got, your not you anymore.
List Poem
Dark blue school skirt
Lighter blue shirt on top with folded sleeves
Slightly silky hair tied in a pony tail
Pink glasses on the nose
Brown eyes underneath
Brown little spots my face
A canine stuck out teeth
A butterfly tattoo on my left wrist
Bracelets of different sorts on my right hand
Just one pink one on the left
Uneven nails that are cut short
specks of little hair all over
Grey shoes with mini pompoms
Another butterfly tattoo on my right ankle
Ashen skin on my knees and ankles
Me.
Where I'm From
I am from the teacups,
and the pretty dolls resting on my shelf
the treasured pancake mornings,
the gowns from Cinderella
and Dora the Explorer.
I am from the daydreams in the garden,
and the ‘Eat your dinner’
with the occasional ‘Mermaid’
sledding hills on snowy winters,
that designer table in the middle of the room
and summers full of swimming.
I am from those nights dancing with Rolling Stone,
the sugar donuts,
strawberries in bushes,
babysitting coconuts,
strums of guitar playing,
drawers of silverwareand glass vases.
Floating in the sea,
are the vast memories floating in tides,
making splashes of waves,constantly changing,
flowing swiftly through time,
and bubbling into me.
