I am a woman. I am a daughter and a lover and a friend - I am a student, a poet, but not just the body I occupy, I am much more than the photo on the wall. I am the laugh traveling down the hall I am the pull of a memory as you walk by our spot I am the beat of your heart as you hear my words And I will still be, even when I am not. mute, but echoing invisible, but lingering gone, but so far from forgotten, Because I will not let myself become just a name on a yellowed sheet of paper - I am the stars and the rain and the dust in the beam of sunlight streaming in your window and I, I am human, and so I will always be.
