i am...(inspired by mrbrown)

i am one who dreams big dreams, and who falls flat on her face. i am the girl who picks herself up, brushes off the dirt and hobbles on.

i am the one who cried. i'm the soul you saved from the ditch.

i am the kid who jumped around with her cousins after school, and looked forward to each time the bus dropped me off at grandma's. i am the child who had lovely birthdays surrounded by family members. i'm the little one who went to grandpa's shop and ate more than i sold.

i am the daughter who caused you heartache, and for whom you created an unforgetable doughnut cake. i am the little girl with two ponytails, who roamed the corridors, played with the dogs and went into the sea right after i scrapped my knee.

i am the sister who shouted at you, and the one who hugs you. i am the banban you love.

i am the mediocre student who only shone in subjects i had a passion for. i am the stubborn bull who never gives up. i am the weakling who flailed.

i am the prefect who stood in front of the school, and shouted out commands at flag raising. i am the fairy in that dance, and the compere for that ceremony i sacrificed a trip to disneyland for.

i am the sweaty girl tearing round the tracks. i am the breathless captain, racket in hand. i am the lass who swam lap after lap, aching.

i am the excited face that you sought for in the stands, your personal cheerleader. i am the woman you told me you loved too much to be with. i am the girlfriend you didn't come after.

i am the one who waited. and waited. and waited.

i am the girl who flew alone, and set up house in another country. i am the one in the purple uggs who sometimes speaks in class, who gave a presentation on a robotic dog, who loved walking around uni. i am the girl who finds your friendship invaluable. i am the mess you had to live with and whom you are so kind to.

i am the graduate who returned. i am the singaporean in love with many countries.

i am the nickname you nudge on msn.

i am the friend who sometimes doesn't say much. i am the madwoman who prances around spouting nonsense. i am the swinging wet blanket who dampens spirits. i am the girl who disappears.

i am the coach who feels the warmth of those tiny tots. i am the teacher who hugs and plays, yet scolds and punishes. i am the big sister who gives them chocolates.

i am the annoyed who hates smelly people. i am the dreamy one who looks at the stars, listens to the rain, plays catch with the sea. i am the girl who loves your sunsets.

i am the one who stays up late to chat with you. i am the girl who fell. i am the sleepyhead you stayed up to skype with. i am the girl whose heart is with you.

i am the woman who looked up and smiled. i am the destroyed who shed tears alone in the dark. i am the heart with hope.

i am the tree with roots planted firmly on the ground. i am the bird who flies wild. i am one who dares to love. sometimes.

i am the girl who feels, but can't find all the words to describe everything. i'm the one who has said too much.
