I Have Everything In Life

I have everything; and life.
I have morning fog and cold crunchy grass.
I have screaming tea kettles, waiting for me.
I have my friends that laugh with me, 
that annoy me, so I choose them.
I have my cozy home that reminds me of my father.
I have grieving places I wish were gone, until I put them to use.
I have sadness and discomfort that tries to eat my thoughts.
I have a loving family that accepts me for being me.
I have everything.

I have questions as my mind blends together making my thinking ambiguous.
I have a face that I can show my feelings inside, showing people my grudges.
I have a book that I feel like I'm living in as soon as I open the page.
I have a school where I get my education from, each teacher telling me important life skills.
I have an instructor who understands me and my horse, helping me become a better rider.
I have everything.

I have long frizzy blond hair, inherited from my mom.
I have soft brown eyes given to me from my dad.
I have lots of hand-me-downs from all my older friends.
I have all these things that make me who I am.
I have everything in life.
