I once wrote a poem from the depths of my room,
With a lamp at my side there was still much gloom
This boy forged from steel who was cursed with no heart,
Was about to take on a new role, in a new day, a new part.
People can wonder and stare in disbelief,
I am what I am, And I be who I be.

I then came to school with the poem at my grip,
And waited for poetry class to which this would fit.
When the time came to share, I was up off my seat,
I thought the class would be in for a treat.

At then end came no claps, no smiles no cheers,
Yet I was ready to shed many tears.
How could this boy with an exterior so rough, and so cold,
Have a heart just the opposite, a heart pure of gold.
They sit there in wonder, and confused just the same,
I am what I am, And I be who I be.

I think that you must be more than just steel if you can write this well. Very touching.

I am what I am, and glad you are here,
for doing without, we'd shed a tear
your poetry's fine, and so are you!
I am what I am, glad that you're here!
