“I Am” Poem

This poem was originally done for my Creative Writing class in Dec 2012.

I Am

I am
Creativity, daydreamer, determination
I love to draw and to make things.
Kindness is important to me.
Loyalty is important to me.
Imagination is important to me.
Diversity is a wonderful thing.
Apathy is bad, but it is a good opportunity to inspire someone.
We need to accept each other.
We need to be creative.
We need to speak to each other, stop shutting others out.
I am.

“Just Because” Poem – Quiet

This poem was originally written for my Creative Writing class in December of 2010.

 

Quiet

Just becuase I’m quiet
Doesn’t mean I have nothing to say
Doesn’t mean I have no feelings
Don’t talk like I’m not there
Just because I’m quiet
Doesn’t mean I have no opinions
Doesn’t mean I don’t believe
I have something to say
Just becuase I’m quiet
I am ready to listen
I am ready to understand
The words will leave my tongue
Just because I’m quiet my words have greater weight

“I Don’t Understand” Poem – WBC

This poem was written as part of my Creative Writing Class in November of 2010.

It was written the week the Westboro Baptist Church came to town.

WBC

I don’t understand
The words you say
The feelings you feel
The ideas you spread

But most of all
Why you do this
Why you spread your hate
Why you come here

What I understand most is
That we are stronger than you
That you will not stop us
That we will stand together
We are who we are and you will not change us

List Poem – Addition

Originally written for my Creative Writing Class back in November of 2010.

 

Addition

The seconds add up to minutes
The minutes add up to hours
The hours add up to days
The days add up to years.

The words add up to jibes
The jibes add up to fights
The fights add up to hurts
The hurts add up to tears

The sorrys add up to forgiveness
The forgiveness adds up to friends
The friends add up to a shield
The shield against the fears

As the seconds add up to minutes
to hours to days to years
Though the inches add up to feet to miles
I know you’re always near
