English 2

Mrs. Keene said one page.
One entire page just about me.
I thought hard,
I thought long.
How was I going to write a page?

A page seems like a lot.
27 lines to be filled,
just about me.

I don't play sports,
so no achievements to speak of.

I'm no club officer,
so clubs we shall not speak of.

I guess the only thing to say
is that I am me,
and that is all that matters.

I love writing poetry,
especially when I'm mad.
Stories are okay,
but when by me,
not so much.

Nothing of interest,
nothing to tell.
I am me, and that is
all that matters.

Love Skillet with all my heart.
Not the pan,
but the band.
Christian Rock is what I need,
what I breathe.

I am happy with a book to read.
I am happy with my computer on.
I am happy when I cook and sing.
But I never follow the crowd,
But the Lord,
because I am me,
and that's all that matters.
