I am

I am outside the box

Inside the loop

Around the block

Down the stairs and on the train

I am the bright sunny days

The cool breezy nights

The tears of mixed emotion emanating from the storm that's passing overhead

I am the winter blues

The spring and summer sneezes

And the blush that leaves turn when they fall



I am the laugh til you crack

Chop bustin

Arroz con pollo eatin

Boricua rep-in

Spanglish speakin

Gringo lookin

Don't put it past me or I'll stomp a mud hole in your ass thinkin

Not so innocent lookin

Blind as a bat but I can still see right through you

I am the tears that don't signify weakness

The redness in the cheeks that you make blush

The warmth of that badly needed hug, that is, whenever you need it

I am your pana

Your familia

Your amigo

Your enemigo

Your amorcito de melon

Your nightmare

Your daydream

Your fantasy hidden deep down inside



I am the blues

The smoothest jazz

The hip to your hop

The spice in your salsa

The uniqueness to your cumbia

The dembow to your reggaeton-ton...with a mix of pop and rock with a hint of dance thrown in so you don't know what hit you

I am Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and Staten, the Bx, Long Island, Myrtle and Nostrand...

Wyckoff, Irving, Halsey and Weirfield

The 26, 38, 54

The J, L, and M that runs all over K county



The blond locks

The white skin

Auburn eyes

Yup, that's me

These words

This gorgeous smile

These sorrowful tears

The peach that comes out when I blush

It's all one of a kind

I walk my walk

I talk my talk

I strut what I have

Humble to the touch but you can't fold me either way

This is why I'm hot

I work the threads that I sport

Because like it or not

It's all me
