I am like a paintbrush
Capable of creating many beautiful things,
Give me the right materials,
Then I will create you a new beginning.

I am like a pencil,
Capable of making a new world,
Through the works of imagination,
I can show you what that world can hold.



I am like a pen,
Permanent and bold,
Able to create many words or images,
That your mind can hold.

I am like a piece of modeling clay,
Capable of being molded and formed to fit your needs,
I start off as something ugly and unwanted,
Then turn into something you are proud to call your own.


I am like an eraser,
Capable of fixing my own mistakes,
With the ability to undo unwanted actions,
I am able to live my life the way I am supposed to.

I am like a box of crayons,
Full of color and variety,
Always helpful when using your imagination,
Always helping you get your pictures onto paper,



I am like a piece of paper,
Made with nothing special about me,
As I grow up I am created into something unique,
As well as something you can’t believe you helped make yourself.

Altogether I am creative,
I am who I am supposed to be,
I am who I am,
And I am pretty damn proud of what I have become.

This is a poem i did for my english class, however, i decided to post it here because my teacher basically started crying when she read it because she thought that it was really great. It came from what my heart was telling my heart to write.

This is AMAZING! I can't believe this didn't get published. I totally gave you five stars. I've spent the past few minutes trying to find something you could fix or work on, but it's spotless. I hope you'll check out mine! (:

This is absolutely fantastic. The descriptions and similes are so perfectly stated, and the imagery is beautiful. You are truly talented with words, don't stop writing! :)
