Half him and half her course through my veins
They are there

My hair, my blood, my short fingernails
There are me

Although I am both, there is but one I want to be:
Me

I agree w/ inkspired. I think if you wanted to play with this poem, it would be really interesting to add some lines about the similar body parts - the same curved nails... give some graphic imagery that the reader can see clearly in his/her mind. Either way, great job!

This is so cool! I love it! Very short, sweet, and it rings true. I LOVE the last line!
