A red shoebox
Containing birthday cards
My family sent me.
A bunch of screen t-shirts
Reliving the cartoons
of the past.
Twelve pairs of comfortable shoes
that have gone through
Numerous stages of my life.
Three African Dresses
To remember my family's origin.
A ******* book
Containing my childhood disability.
Seven comedy and musical DVDs
To watch and pretend that I'm living out
My dream.
As I look through these things,
I know where I've been,
Where I've come from,
What I'm going through,
What I want to be in the future,
And then realized that I haven't
Found what I'm looking for,
Until I stumbled across
A little green book
That contained a special document
Of my achievement;


This is where I felt good inside.
