I Am the Grass

Cynthia Liu
I am the Grass

Green. Short or tall. Waving daintily in

the fields. Welcoming the sweeping winds.

Soaking up the bright fluorescent

sunlight. Soft, comforting, enigmatic.

Dependable and pliable. Growing between walls, fields,

roadsides, concrete. Vivacious, perky, full of

life. Eager to explore.

Fascinated by the surroundings.

Curious to face new challenges.

Sometimes stepped on, ignored,

pulled out. Discouraged or

frustrated. Bends, folds,

curves. Small, humble, and obscure.

The heavy rain pours and I

bend down. When the storm is

over I stand tall with pride.

That is me. I am a fighter,

an optimist, and a

cheerful person by nature.

I am the grass.
