I Am

Fifth graders had fun today sharing thoughts about themselves with this poem template. I decided to try it too.

I Am
I am a mystery to myself.
I wonder why I want what I can't have.
I see the worst possible outcome.
I hear music in my head.
I want to stop overthinking.
I am a mystery to myself

I pretend I'm not nervous.
I feel comforted when I pray.
I need routine...but I want to run.
I worry about illness.
I cry when I'm confused.
I am a mystery to myself.

I understand God is complex.
I say we've got life all wrong.
I dream of reliving my past.
I try to follow the rules.
I hope my children will be happy.
I am a mystery to myself.
