I am From
September 9, 2011
I am from forts with my brother
And playing on trampolines.
I am from life as we know it,
And life as we don’t.
I am from late night dreams
And terrible nightmares.
I am from beasts and I am from
Angels.
I am from life,
And I am from death.
I am from strength
But I’m also from weakness.
I am from working together
And splitting apart.
I am from eating and laughing,
Yet tears make their way through.
I am from freedom
I am from Me.

I like the idea but u should make it more personal. It sounds too generic. Other than that good job.

I like this piece. I think you did a great job comparing the enjoyable activities/concepts to the not so enjoyable activities/concepts. (: Good job!
