I am what I am

I am what I am.

The tic tac of the clock;

The lyrics to "Alexander Hamilton";

A day of sun;

The posters on my wall;

The flowers in grandma's garden;

The german books from school;

All the lines in "My Best Friend's Wedding";

The piano songs;

The plays and poems;

A musical number in "La La Land".

I am where I am.

Chicago;

Berlin;

The classroom on the second floor;

The stage;

São Paulo;

The whole Italian peninsula;

Charleston;

New Orleans;

The bookshop in the mall;

My street;

Starbucks;

The states of Maine and Massachusetts;

The Brazilian Northeast;

Zurich's airport;

The Millennium Park;

Boston's Beacon Hill and the Museum of Fine Arts.

I am who I am.

Keira Knightley;

Grace Kelly;

Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet;

The Crawleys;

My best friends;

Anna Karenina;

Leonardo DiCaprio;

Robert DeNiro;

Brie Larson;

My crushes and teachers and colleagues;

Jane Austen;

Elizabeth Bennet;

Don Drapper;

My sister and mother and father and brother.

I am what I am.

A storyteller.

An almost-woman.

An undecided teenager.

A human doubt.

A walking cinema encyclopedia.

A failure in the looking in the eyes matter.

A dreamer.

Perhaps a little bit of a hopeless romantic.

A critical body.

Sometimes and unfortunately,

a sucker for cliches.

Always an activist for originality.

24/7 feminist.

A person and living creature.

I am.

What, where, who.

I am.
