Short Poem: I Am
I paint, but I am not a painter
I dance, but I am not a dancer
I write, but I am not a writer
I clean, but I am not a maid
I have parents, but I am not a child
I have a husband, but I am not a wife
I say stupid things, but I am not dumb
I say smart things, but I am not intelligent
I make mistakes, but I am not wrong
I speak truths, but I am not right
I do mean things, but I am not bad
I do nice things, but I am not good
I hold a law degree, but I am not a lawyer
I hold a passport, but I am not a citizen
I dream, but I am not a dreamer
I think, but I am not a thinker
I am not a doer
I am not a woman
I am not a human
I am
I am
And that’s all
I am
