Knock, Knock, It's Me

By: C.M.

I am me

I am appreciative

I can be bratty sometimes, just sometimes

I have hair long, very long hair that represents bravery

And how I carry myself and move on from things that

waste my valuable times for me to do something else.

My eyes are brown that represents something also

Left eye means honesty and maturity. Right means a

Regular 13-year-old girl who has a fun and humorous side.

Sometime my immature side gets the best of me

When I am five miles past anxious.

I know that I can separate the two.

When I cry my left tear is joy and strength

The left eye reminds me of the saying “things are going

to get worse before they get better.”

Which brings me to my right tear, the pain

The “worst” sometimes the worst takes so long to get

better I ask myself where is my better? Where is my

left eye?

I am a person who cares so much about trust

To me personality and trust are my life preserves

It’s the person who can save me.

I love people I don’t give up on them I try to

Understand when I can’t I don’t push it but if I can’t

Understand I just listen.
