Who Am I ?

Wno Am I?

by Valencia "Oranges" Patterson

I am the muscle beating in your chest

some may call it a loving heart

but when I get overworked

it's over when it starts

I am the knuckles in your fingers

I'm used for many things

but I'm not your puppet

so don't try to pull my strings

I am that silly girl down the street

who doesn't act her age

with a head full of knowledge

and a soul full of rage

I am the leaves on that tree

so strong yet so weak

I am that pulse in your head

that tells you when to speak

I'm the veins in your body

that transfers your blood

I am the lawyer in that courtroom

who supports you through the crud

I'm the tears in your eyes

I'm the sweat on your head

I am the ghost whisperer

who wakes up the dead

I am Valencia Patterson!
