Ok guys Its time for me to get cliche' on you. I decided it was time to evaluate how well I know myself, and what I know about myself so I did one of these god awful I am poems...but I want to see what everyone else thinks of themselves too so post yours under mine if you feel up to it (or down to it  peaceI am undiscovered I am a romantic in waiting I am partial to gummi bears, sweetarts and nerds I am a nerd I am a moviequoteaholic I am intimidated by beauty I am a recovering dependent I am finally in control of my life I am happy wasting days and nights on the beach I am too philosophical for my own good I am learning every day I am unsure, insecure, and will endure I am forever a child I am going to be a father, someday I am a dreamer I am naïve I am out there somewhere I am a romantic in waiting [This message has been edited by Kevin (08-01-2002 01:57 PM).] |

I am indescribable…. I am a girl, small and naïve I am a woman, mature and strong I am never good enough I am the sister of absolute perfection I am the daughter of intelligence and beauty I am not my siblings I am not my parents I am never good enough I am in love with laughter= I am a believer in true love I am a child of God I am myself, but try to be more I am never good enough I am a quiet rebel I am a messy perfectionist I am waiting for a life to begin I am insecure about everything I am never good enough I am what you people think I am I am whispers and gossip I am that girl I am my grades, my looks, my personality I am never good enough I am indescribable….

I am unstructured I am indecisive I am my own worst enemy I am energetic I am always learning I am the "other woman" I am spontaneous I am naive I am a wallflower I am the girl next door I am the object of your affection I am the one you love to hate I am defensive I am insecure I am in love with a dream I am on the verge of discovery I am exhausted I am indecisive Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving? |

Wooo! This looks like fun. So it's my turn to try. I am who I am, I am someone to make you laugh, I am at times insecure, I am a hopeless romantic, I am a music lover, I am an aspiring writer and/or musician, I am unsure of the future, I am unsure of a lot of things, I am a loyal friend, I am a person who cries herself to sleep sometimes, I am living in my own fantasies, I am a slob and you like it, I am weird but in a good way, I am Erin, I am who I am. I'm no good at those kind of poems but oh well. *~erin~* |

I am pure potential energy I am afraid I am logical I am my own grey dreams I am a "walking contradiction" I am my books I am my words I am never my words I am a sloppy obsessive I am my own god I am always hungry I am never alone I am always alone I am the observer I am angry I am waiting for the rain I am too impatient I am doubtful I am independent I am clinging I am letting myself go I am someone else "Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions." ~David Borenstein [This message has been edited by Child of the Stars (08-01-2002 04:41 PM).] |

I am a puzzle even to myself I am never quite there I am over active in every way I am always loud when silence is needed I am a fake blonde but not a fake girl I am too damn talkative I am waiting for something, i'm just not sure what yet I am living in the future too much I am always having to tell myself to just be I am probably doing myself more harm than good I am always surrounding myself with messed up minds just like mine I am letting too many things take me down I am just trying to get along i am...impossible |

I guess, I'll give it a shot. lol. No critiques on this one please. I am therefore I think. I am the ink in my veins. I am the hand that holds the reins. I'm gold on green. I am obsene. I am the hand that rocks the cradle. I am a fable. I am the cherry in the pipe. I am ripe and ready to burst. I am stress above the verse. I am the priceless perfect rhyme. I'm lost in time and I am drained. 'I am the shadow of the waxwing slain...'* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ quote from my favorite book, "Pale Fire" by V. Nabokov.

You are rude. Yes, I am outspoken. You are insulting. Yes, I am outspoken. You are annoying. Yes, I am outspoken. Your views are disturbing. Maybe I talk too much. I disagree with you. That is because your ears are closed. You are making no sense. You are denying yourself sense to be made. You are a terrible person. Yes, I am outspoken. |

This is neat. So as much as people would hope that I would stay away, I won't. I am more than you can handle. I am less than I can stand. I am not good enough to love you. I am not good enough to be loved. I am hard as nails. I am an unopened book. I am a statue today. I am a pigeon tomorrow. I am a too tired to continue. Casey If all you want is emotion, go down to walmart, buy yourself a diary and hide it in a drawer where no one can see... |

Wowzers...hi kevin, im glad you decided to swallow ur pride and write this one cuz i thought it was very well written, one of the best ive read! (everyone else's was awesome too!) and i feel like i got to know u a lil thru it. I actually wrote a poem bout myself a few years ago. It doesn't start with "I AM"'s but its close enough. Guess i'll add it in here (sorry so long).... The "WHY" of Me -I write because all other forms of artistic expression fail me. -I sing because the words would be meaningless without musical accompaniment. -I play the piano because my hands communicate more accurately than my mouth. -I win because I do not know how to fail. -I question because ignorance is an open invitation to fear and prejudice and hate. -I know because I asked. -I persist because I don't know when to quit. -I laugh because my foolish pride hastily holds my tears captive. -I cry because my heart is overflowing. -I smile because I've seen a beauty in the simplest of things that not even the cruel hand of a human form can take away from me. -I frown because you don't see what I see, and to me that is a great unfairness. -I yearn because my path would end without an incentive to pave the way. -I love because you've opened up something within me and moved my soul, whether or not I wanted you to. -I dream because the harshness of reality would soon engulf my free-flying spirit if I did not, which is a sad but true thing if you think about it for too long. So I choose not to. -I pray because I believe the answers lie in something greater than myself. -I believe because they've failed to give me a reason not to. -I have faith because it is loyal when all else has gone awry. -I am happy because I have no reason to be sad. -I admire because I've seen in you something that I would like to possess. -I inspire because I've somehow managed to touch others the way my inspiration has touched me. -I blush because I am too insecure to admit to myself that there is something beautiful in me that I've allowed you to see. -I look because I don't know what I'll find. -I listen because the value of another person's thoughts is something I can't afford to waste. -I strive because I seek to obtain perfection. -I laugh at myself because there is no such thing as perfection. -I live because I’m dying to be alive. -I will die only if I've failed to truly live. -I will say nothing more because there is nothing and everything left to say. Not as good as urs, but hey i contributed! Again - great work! K The day you were born, you were born free |

I am my own person Yet I am lost I am my own worst critic Yet I'm biased I am emotional Yet so stubborn I am the product of my environment Yet try think outside of the box I am complex Yet can be read like a book I am a quitter Yet have my feet firmly planted on the ground I am my mother's daughter, unfortunately Yet at times I wish I was someone else I am naive, insecure, sarcastic and unstable Yet Always trying to reach out I am my own person Yet I am lost [This message has been edited by Ceinwyn (09-10-2002 05:25 PM).] |

I am self-destructive I am discombobulating I am aggressive I am defensive I am (according to my dad) arrogant I am a quiet talent (not sure what though) I am messed up I am actually quite a nice person once you get to know me. Liked the idea, liked your poem. Nice one. Ellie )O( In the beginning, the Universe was made. This has angered a lot of people and has been widely regarded as a bad move- Douglas Adams |

I am I am impossible I agree to disagree I am independent but I rely on you I am insane and hold more common sense than most of the adults I know I am a gummibear addict I am Lyss to my friends Alyssa Marie to my parents Pedro to Manuelo and Me. I am a person with a marshmallow personality sticking to your fingers that sugary goodness I am addicted but I do not need anything I am yours, all yours. I am insanely in love but I'll never tell I am stubborn but sometimes you win I am emotional I am intelligent and clumsy I am defensive and open I am excitable. I am loveable and able to love I am radioactive unable to be held I am yours, all yours. I am also thinking that I may have to revise this later!  ich bin schwul, ich bin jüdisch und ein Kommunist dazu, Ich bin schwarz und behindert, doch genauso Mensch wie du ~Wizo [This message has been edited by Allysa (09-12-2002 11:33 AM).] |

Me next! I'm nothing I'm everything you're not I'm always there I'm never where I need to be I'm a Twinkie... The golden spongecake of perfection filled with that stuff, oh so sweet I'm whatever the moment calls for I'm not the type to retreat I can't do everything but I do what I can I'm Gabrielle I'm alive, and well... I am |

I am loyal (above everything, this is true) I am in love with laughter, I love especially to cause it in others. I am stained, impure, imperfect I am shattered, a glass filled too full of emotion I could not contain I am a child, my tears and needs attest to it I am ancient, experience and pain have forged me as such I am hateful and hated, neither hatred is merited I am compassionate, even to those I believe that I hate I am changing, never constant, easily swayed I am easily used, and have proved it over and over I am strong, I will live through all this and more I am enduring, I will survive I am weakness and strength, courage and fear, anger and sorrow, bitterness and forgiveness, love and hate. This I know. Ok, I didn't read anything that was written except the first one, so if I've repeated anything, sorry, I guess we're alike, but I didn't copy it. Um... This was hard... |

*I AM* I am sensitive I am shy But I am glad I'm not a guy! I am weak I am determined I am disoriented. I am high on life. I am very pregnant, I am very much in love, I am very happy to be alive. I am independent, I am a love addict I am sensual I am a tease. I am too emotional I am insecure. I am scared And I am unsure. I am very wise Yet at times I'm immature. I am fun to be around. I am logical I am rational I am stressed, But I can handle it. I am patient I am kind I am loving, But love is blind. I am new here, But I've been around for years. I am still not sure, Who I really am. ~~Kadence~~ |
