This poem is about a drill team coach that I had last year.

Some people in this world you can not trust,
but this one you surely must.

She is soft and so gentle,
like a fresh flower petal.

She's cool and ever so sweet,
like a nice cold ice cream treat.

She's kind all of the time,
and that I'm sure is no crime.

She is so inspiring,
which is quite admiring.

She's definitely one of a kind,
because people like her are really hard to find.

She's helped me to find my way,
in the way life is everyday.

She helped me to find who I am,
which is the world's traffic jam.

In that, I'd like to thank her,
for I'll she's had to offer.

I thank you for every helping hand you've had to lend,
but overall for just being my friend.

Might I ask what this line means? It makes no sense to me.

She helped me to find who I am,
which is the world's traffic jam.

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

It means basically what it says. The world is filled with people trying to act like everybody else. She helped me to be myself, and that holds a lot of people up, like a traffic jam. I hope that makes a little more sense.
