The poets from West Park Academy wrote on how they saw themselves. They were asked to use metaphors to describe themselves. Enjoy!
Andrea V.
I am a Sun
Not fire
I am sky
Not rain
I am a rainbow
Fernanda P.
I am diamonds, not broken
I am history
Not bitter
I am a dream
Not a glass
I am a dragon
Not a puppet to be played
I am the sky
Not the dark
I am the wind that runs through your hair.
Guadalupe M.
I am the son that brings Joy
I am not the monster in your closet
I am the angel that is with you till the end
I am not the lion that hunts its prey
But I am the lion that protects her family
I am the happiness you feel inside
I am not the fear you run away from
I am to comfort you seek on those days of Sorrow
I am not a hurricane meant to tear your life apart
I am the forest you come to when there is trouble
I am not the Twisted lies
But the heartful truth
I’m not the glass that shatters easily
I am the kind mother
I am not a knife to cut you down
I am a Band-Aid to heal your wounds
I am not those terrible thoughts that feel your head
But that dream you had last night
I am not something you throw out
I am not the problems that destroy you
Jimena H.
I am a bush
I am not spiny
I’m a tree
I am not french fries
I am a color
I’m not a storm
I am a ferret
I’m not a puddle
Nely A.
I am successful, I am not famous
I’m a cloud, I’m not smoky
I am the eraser, not the pencil
I am time, I am not a clock
I am gold, I’m not a brick
I am the rain, not stillwater
Allison R.
I am a rainbow
I’m not a parrot
I’m an alligator
I am not a butterfly
I am mind reader
I am not a piece of paper
I am a brain
I am not a heart
