Poem: Who I Am

Who I Am

I am an athlete.

I wonder about the future.

I hear myself think.

I see nature.

I want to succeed.

I am an athlete.


I pretend to be a giraffe.

I feel happy.

I touch everyone around me.

I worry about the government.

I cry when I need to.

I am an athlete.


I understand my friends.

I say what I want to say.

I dream when I sleep.

I try my hardest.

I hope my dreams come true.

I am an athlete.
