I am a girl who writes her woes and sings them back.
I wonder about the future, and what it has in store for me.
I hear the cacophony of poetry and music in my mind.
I see the best summer of my life leaving me in an instant.
I want to be remembered for who I am, not what people want me to be.
I am a girl who writes her woes and sings them back.
I pretend to smile, when I'm really broken up inside.
I feel the thoughts of the one so close, yet so far.
I touch so many lives, yet I can't comprehend that I do.
I worry about everything and anything in this world.
I cry constantly, though my tears are invisible.
I am a girl who writes her woes and sings them back.
I understand my faith through singing and praise.
I say music and written expression are the true "art" of this world,
I dream of clear, midnight skies so I can see the stars.
I try to stay focused, even though my mind wanders away.
I hope that the underlying symbolism is evident in my poetry.
I am a girl who writes her woes and sings them back.
**I wrote a poem in this format about two years ago, and our English teacher gave it to us again to do. It was fun to write and see how much I've changed over the course of the last two years. It's not meant to rhyme, and it's basically the poem that writes the story of who I am. Read my other "I Am" poem if you'd like to see the original one too.**
