I Am A Person Who

By Zaina Starr

I am a person who…

likes to write poetry,

hates people,

can read people’s emotions,

cannot stand liars and thieves,

would never hurt anyone intentionally,

would rather see someone else happy before myself,

loves to read and learn,

wants to learn how to publish poetry,

used to afraid of confrontation,

would be better off in solitude,

is really good at anything I put my mind to,

gets angry when people treat me like I’m stupid,

Irritates other people when I talk to myself,

Has the positive habit of organization,

Has the negative habit of forgetting,

Wishes I could change the way other people see the world,

Never misses watching her little ones sleep,

Will someday live with peace and joy
