people ask when you became You
and i'm not sure
but i remember an early day
you locked out the screen door
all the boys on the inside
you with a plastic sword in your hand
the biggest boy mocking you with a balloon filled big
with air anxious to escape
you didn't cry or whine or even pull on the door
you just stood
independent
determined
none of us boys saw the gap made by the door's window
but your smirk did
and so did your sword
