I AM
I remember this one time in 12th grade English class when my teacher had us write these poems were the whole thing is made up of statments of "I am". that is what the whole thing is... I am this- I am so and so....... I don't really know why I’m thinking about this right now, but I am- so I thought I would give it a try for were I am right now in my life.
this is just what i have so fare, yah, it is a work in progress. People can feel free to let me know what you think- just know flaming please : ? )

I AM
By Brett Thompson
I am a person. I am me. I am trying to be honest in life. I am trust worthy. I am in no way perfect. I am fallible. I am a diabetic. I am a sister. I am a daughter. I am a granddaughter. I am a niece. I am a cousin. I am a friend. I am hopeful to one day be a lover. I am a lesbian. I am almost 20. I am an animal lover.
I am feeling. I am confused. I am hopeful of what the future may bring. I am torn between what I want and what I need. I am scared of all the things I don’t know. I am humbled by the things I see. I am saddened by the way people treat each other. I am lucky to have been born into this part of the world. I am not really scared of death. I am scared of never really living. I am sick of the “nice person” coming in last.
I am simple. I am complicated. I am serous. I am determined to prove people wrong. I am a deep thinking. I am defensive. I am scared. I am finding it hard to trust people. I am finding it easer to talk to some people. I am confused, scared, and surprised by the thoughts that go through my head sometimes.
I am in love with the idea of love. I am hopeful to find friends I consider family. I am a hopeless romantic. I am a dreamer. I am not religious. I am not sure if there is live after death. I am convinced all living things are connected to each other in some way. I am hopeful that people can change (if they want to).
I am not physically beautiful. I am not content with the way people see me. I am not intimidating. I am not tall. I am not overly smart. I am trying to get into shape (other than round). I am confused about who I may become in the future. I am confident I have nice eyes and a whole body laugh. I am happy my hair is now short.
I am sure there is so much still to discover in myself and the world around me.
