I Am Like
By Princess K.P.
Sometimes I feel like a dizzy electric fan,
Sometimes I speak like a rabbit,
Sometimes I act like a princess,
Am I really like that?
People think that I’m as tall as a tree,
My friends tell me that I’m pretty like a mermaid,
My teachers want me to be as pretty as a princess,
What they don’t know is that I am what I am.
I Am Like
By Beautiful B.A.
Sometimes I feel like a butterfly in the air,
Sometimes I speak like a hummingbird in the garden,
Sometimes I act like a crying baby,
Am I really like that?
People think that I’m as small as an ant,
My friends tell me that I’m cute like Hello Kitty,
My teachers want me to be as smart as a scientist,
What they don’t know is that I am just what I am.
I Remember
By J.Z.
I remember that I look like a tarsier,
I remember that my classmates tease me, that my eyes are like a magnifying glass,
I remember that my parents want me to be a smart kid like Thomas Alva Edison and Isaac Newton,
Can I really be like them?
My friends tell me that I’m as noisy as an alarm clock,
People think that I’m as cute as a teddy bear,
My teachers want me to be as quiet as a lizard,
What they don’t know is I am just what I am.
Just As I Am
By XXClaXX566
One day, someone says—
I act like her
I talk like her.
And I say—
I am just as I am.
My mom says “You are smart like a Math book.”
I talk to myself, “Am I as smart as a Math book?”
Maybe?
But don’t you see I’m just as I am.
I am as cool as an ice and I always act like just as I am.
Finally, they know that
I’m not as lovely as a flower or
As smart as a computer,
But, you know, I act like just as I am.
