I Am Who I Am

I am an artist and a thinker.
I wonder where I’ll end up in life.
I hear the thoughts of the people around me.
I see a hopeful future with bright eyes.
I want to learn everything there is to know.
I am an artist and a thinker.


I pretend to be more than one person.
I feel that I feed off of people’s emotions.
I touch the souls of the lost and forgotten.
I worry that I may not overcome my past. 
I cry for the ones I can not help.
I am an artist and a thinker.


I understand that nothing lasts forever.
I say everything happens for a reason.
I dream of being successful in this world.
I try to make myself a better person.
I hope that everything will soon come together.
I am an artist and a thinker.

    Good job!

    I really liked this. I really liked how you described yourself and how you think of yourself. I especially liked the lines:
    "I touch the souls of the lost and forgotten.
    I worry that I may not overcome my past.
    I cry for the ones I can not help."
    It shows that you may have had a hard time in the past. And have a wish to help others. Thank you for entering my contest, good job and good luck.

    i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like this a lot! honestly it relates to the way that i am in a lot of ways, with living off of people's emotions...and wanting to better myself...and crying or getting worked up about people's issues that i could never solve, i love the repitition to... :] :] :]
