I am me; a melody that belongs to no one else
Notes that string together to define me.
The rhythm of my song matches the beat of my heart
The lyrics formed from the thoughts swirling in my mind

I am me; an open book whose words match no other.
Whose pages tell the story of who I am
A never ending path
One chapter ends, a new one begins

I am me; a piece of unique art
Colors swirling and mixing
Leaving no hue not included.
Distinctive brush strokes coating the canvas.

I am me; a heart beat dissimilar from all others
A rare cadence in the time of life
Kept on tempo by the air whooshing in and out of my lungs
Breathe in; breathe out.

I am me; a poem different from all others
It is only one of its kind;
An unparalleled pattern
Words weaving in, out and around each other.

I am me; a color all on its own.
A rich combination.
Hints of purple and blue, but not quite red or yellow…
An indescribable blend

I am me; a mind uncommon to any of those around me
The thoughts morphing and churning
Splashes of color and light
singular to who I am.

I am me; a body made of atoms
A soul of song
A never again existing mind

We had read Song of Myself in English class and this was based on/inspired by it.
