Here's my poem

I am funny & kind

I wonder about the future

I hear llamas singing LLove Yourself by bieber :P

I see unicorns flying in space

I want to feel better about myself

I am funny & kind

I pretend to be a ninja turtle XD

I feel nothing my feelings are broken

I touch floofy clouds

I worry about everything

I cry over mistakes

I am funny & kind

I understand everybody makes mistakes

I say everyone deserves support

I dream about making a difference

I try to do my bestest

I hope to feel better

I am funny & kind

I AM POEM

FIRST STANZA

I am strong and unique

I wonder when I will feel secure

I hear angels singing

I see my finished published books

I want to get back into daily writing

I am strong and unique

_______

I pretend to be in interviews talking about my books

I feel I can be the next best seller

I touch a fuzzy, purring cat

I worry I have no energy to get anything done.

I cry that I can have no cats.

I am strong and unique.

______

I understand I need organize and plan

I say I can do anything I put my mind to

I dream traveling, promoting my books that are turned into movies

I try to write daily as much as I can.

I hope to make my dreams come true

I am strong and unique!

@summertimeSamness

I am kind and curious

I wonder If Nikola Tesla believed in himself

I hear laughter in the hall sound

I see beauty in the clouds

I want to discover meaning

I am kind and curious

I pretend to be a superhero

I feel invisible

I touch the softness of my bear

I worry I won't make it through this

I cry when I'm alone and can take off the mask

I am kind and curious

I understand perfection isn't possible

I say it is what it is

I dream about changing perceptions

I try to encourage others

I hope I have lost all hope

I am kind and curious

This was difficult for me to complete. Thanks for reading.

What i like about the poem activity is you can always come back to it and do it on a different day. I bullet journal alot so sometimes if I need to take my mind off something or just do something to keep myself busy I'll redo the poem. It's kinda cool to see how my lines change on days when my self-esteem is higher and on days when i am feeling low. I will right a note on the page like self-esteem 2/10 today so i can look back at it. The lines kinda help me think about some things like what i am feeling at the time

@summertimeSamness

It's a fun poem but I'm just not feeling up for it
