Sometimes it works to think in the opposite direction. I created that quote, by the way.

I sit here, scribbling.
My questions remain unchanged.
I ask myself,
Who am I?

I am an American,
Proud, brave, free.
I am young.
The clear face you see
Is me.

I am filled with knowledge,
Filled with hope, power, time...
I am somebody.
Who is...?
Nobody?

I am the man of a thousand words,
A thousand actions,
A thousand hugs and kisses,
A thousand memories.

I am a calm boy,
An outspoken boy,
An imperfect boy,
and caring as well.

So I am me.
You are not me.
So, who are you?
And you tell me, who am I?

FROM THE DESK OF my soul

School project turned into my greatest writing yet! Also, I do not know what is on the poem picture, so it may be completely unrelated. Oh, slow internet.
