Author's Notes: This was a class assignment. I did two of the poems, one about how everyone else sees me (Outside, thats the one I turned in) and one about how I see me, on my more, shall we say, depressed days. (That would be Inside, the one I did not turn in.) This is Inside. I wrote it first, but decided I wanted somethign less close to my heart for a teacher to rake over and grade. There's a template of how to make your own below this.
I Am Me (Inside)
I am
resilient and strong
I wonder about God
I hear the stars sing
I
see all the colors of sadness
I want to make my father proud
I
am resilient and strong
I pretend
to be joyful
I feel empty inside
I touch the souls of those who
let me
I worry for the future
I cry because of those around
me
I am resilient and strong
I understand we are who we
are
I say nothing should change it
I dream of someone special
I
try to preserve nature
I hope for a happy ending
I am resilient
and strong
I am me, and I cannot be changed.
