The I Am Poem

[Jade]

Hey everyone. Ok, so we were doing this thing today called the I Am Poem and I thought it would be cool to see what people posted. Here is how it works:

I am (two special personality traits)
I wonder (something you're curious about)
I hear (an imaginary sound)
I see (an imaginary sight)
I want (an actual desire)
I am (repeat the two special personality traits)

I pretend (something you pretend)
I feel (litterally or emotionally)
I touch (litterally or psychologically)
I worry (something you worry about)
I cry (self-explanatory)
I am (repeat the two special personality traits)

I understand (something you understand easily)
I say (something you often say)
I dream (litterally or goals/dream)
I try (self-explanatory)
I hope (self-explanatory)
I am (repeat the two special personality traits)

Here's how mine looks:

I am determined and left of center
I wonder what the world has come to
I hear voices in my head
I see what the world could be
I want more knowledge of movies
I am determined and left of center

I pretend there are no worries
I feel angry towards fascists
I touch the other side
I worry about the neo-nazist movement
I cry on the inside only
I am determined and left of center

I understand that work comes first
I say that we can't understand the future if we don't understand the past
I dream of things that can never be
I try harder than I sometimes should
I hope life has more to offer than it seems to now
I am determined and left of center.

[Anomalous Arica]

I am optimistic yet broken
I wonder why people hide behind masks
I hear the smile in your voice
I see a brighter future
I want to achieve greatness
I am optimistic yet broken

I pretend to be strong
I feel like I will one day be as big as the stars!
I touch what I cannot grasp
I worry about failing myself
I cry only when there's too much to bear
I am optimistic yet broken

I understand that I can't change the world
I say that smiling is the best form of defiance
I dream of writing a novel
I try but I cannot do this alone
I hope against hope for the contradiction makes it sweeter
I am optimistic yet broken.

[Amanda]

I am understanding and weird
I wonder about what tomorrow will bring us
I hear the lies whispered
I see to much of everything
I want to know and be more
I am understanding and weird

I pretend everything is okay
I feel everyones sadness
I touch the pages of a new book
I worry about everything
I cry understanding and weird

I understand what people believe
I say I'm fine
I dream of flying pandas
I try not enough
I hope to much
I am understanding and weird

[Cara]

I am wild and hopeful
I wonder where I could go first
I hear the air calling me
I see the hopeful future
I want to take the world by the horns
I am wild and hopeful

I pretend that my cats can talk when they meow
I feel the love of being alive
I touch the fringes of freedom
I worry of the impact I have on people
I cry to let go
I am wild and hopeful

I understand how pain will never cease
I say that love will prevail over hate.
I dream of the wind in my hair
I try to love with all of my heart, at all times.
I hope the people of the world can find happiness.
I am wild and hopeful.

[Morgan]

I am quiet and curious
I wonder what people think about when they're alone
I hear songs in my head
I see dead people
I want understanding
I am quiet and curious

I pretend that it's not a problem
I feel the moonlight
I touch fuzzy things
I worry about tomorrow
I cry very little
I am quiet and curious

I understand sarcasm
I say "your face"
I dream of owls
I try every day
I hope only sometimes
I am quiet and curious.

[Nellie C. Tursoc]

I am creative and kind
I am afraid and broken
I wonder if things need to be this way
I wonder why I would never change the evil in this world
I hear my name with no one around
I hear the screams of all that I've hurt
I see the friends and the land I made
I see the helpless begging for death
I want to help all that I love
I want to see the world burn
I am creative and kind
I am afraid and broken

I pretend that I am normal
I pretend I am creative and kind
I feel scared and shattered
I feel helpless to my own will
I touch the masks that others wear
I touch the scars of my past
I worry that I'll never see past them
I worry that I worry too much
I cry for the hurt in this world
I cry for the evil that is in me
I am creative and kind
I am afraid and broken

I understand why masks are made
I understand the hate in this world
I say that the world is interesting
I say that everything is fine
I dream that I will help others
I dream of freedom in my own mind
I try to understand everyone
I try to break my friends
I hope to solve the puzzle of the world
I hope that all may see their own evil
I am creative and kind
I am afraid and broken

[Julia Herrera]

I am tired, yet anxious
I wonder why it's so hard to get out
I hear the sadness when you say goodnight
I see how tired I've made you
I want to feel normal again
I am tired, yet anxious

I pretend that things may be okay
I feel that all the smiles were a trick
I touch my lip to my teeth, as I bite
I worry all of you
I cry for myself
I am tired, yet anxious

I understand why you can't look at me the same
I say that I'll be okay
I dream of exhilaration
I try and try
I hope that it will change
I am tired, yet anxious

[Amber Vargo]

I am curious and afraid
I wonder why?
I hear art whispering
I see life flying past
I want to understand
I am curious and afraid

I pretend to be who you want me to be
I feel conflicted
I touch the future
I worry that I'm losing myself
I cry for those who will never know themselves
I am curious and afraid

I understand how people lie
I say how come?
I dream of answers
I try my hardest
I hope it all works out
I am curious and afraid

[Chip, A Former Ningmaster]

I am distant but true
I wonder about our world
I hear twinkling
I see the light
I want to discover
I am distant but true

I pretend to have love
I feel fear
I touch few
I worry about the future
I cry away from the world
I am distant but true

I understand little
I say nothing
I dream of understanding
I try to find myself
I hope I can live
I am distant but true

[HappyPenguin27]

Iam...

I am creative and fun
I wonder if there are aliens that live in space
I hear the dodo bird sing
I see creatures in the clouds
I want the earth to last forever
I am creative and fun

I pretend that I fly when my eyes close
I feel a wiggly brown puppy in my arms
I touch a bunny made of marshmallows
I worry that war will take over the world
I cry myself to sleep at night
I am creative and fun

I understand that two plus two equals four
I say don't push
I dream in color
I try my best but sometimes that is not good enough
I hope to one day live amougst the stars
I am creative and fun

[anobsessiontoofar]

I am loyal and more proud of others than of myself
I wonder if it will ever be how I imagine
I hear the love people feel
I see the past, present and future
I want the truth, beauty and friendship
I am loyal, and more proud of other than of myself.

I pretend I don't care
I feel always torn in two
I touch her life
I worry that it is always wrong
I cry for myself
I am loyal, and more proud of others than I am of myself.

I understand how I got here
I say there is often nothing wanted more than a hug
I dream that we will all be the same
I try not to only see the bad
I hope that one day I will succeed
I am loyal, and more proud of others than I am of myself.

[S.K.M]

I am diffrent to the pepole I now and I dont give up
I wonder how pepole manage to live in all the misery
I hear whispering from friends
I see a peaceful world
I want to erite what I feel
I am diffrent to the pepole I now and I dont give up


I pretend I live in a world where earth is treated right
I feel earth
I touch stars on the evennig sky
I worry about my family
I cry when Im alone
I am diffrent to the pepole I now and I dont give up

I understand pepole's feelings and thouhts
I say life can only get better,'cause now it sucks
I dream to make the world a better place
I try and sometimes I win other times I will lose
I hope that I sometime will be somewher without worries
I am diffrent to the pepole I now and I dont give up

[Alexandra]

I am weird and talented
I wonder what my future holds
I hear a jumble of sounds in my head
I see into my mind
I want my happy ending
I am weird and talented

I pretend i am a child
I feel hurt
I touch thoughts
I worry about things too much
I cry on the inside
I am wird and talented

I understand my thoughts
I say things i shouldn't
I dream of random scenarios
I try to relax
I hope i will be the same as i am now when i grow old
I am weird and talented
