The following is a selection from our Project PEACE “I Am” Poems.
Enjoy!
 

I am looking through a window
I see many things
People are walking pass
As my curtains fall.

I am tiny but
I look up at people
As they look down on me.
I try my best to achieve.

I am life
It’s not always fair
But when I am
It will be a reward.

By Eric Wu

I am brown as oak
I am crazy like a child on sugar
Walking with my head held high for
I’m a swagger full flamingo

By Janae Gabriel-Simmons

I am as tall as a shaking tree in the wind
I am as loud as the city
I am as soft as a body
I am as smooth as a bird gliding in the wind.

By Kitisha Phillips

I am as quiet as a mouse
My fashion is loud
I am short like a leprechaun
But my dreams are high

By Justine Jiang

I am as gorgeous as New York City Lights
I am as skillful as Langston Hughes on his trumpet
I am as peaceful as a dove in the sky
I am as classy as a piano piece
I am an antique book waiting to be discovered.

By Ashley Dorce

I am…
I am a pen writing a life story
I am as creative as a mosaic
I am an open heart ready to love but I can be closed up as an abused child

By Jessica Dorce

I am quiet but my actions can be violent.
I am pink; I like things that make me think.
I am beautiful with the clouds moving to the south.
I am lazy like a tiger on a full stomach.

By Shiniqua Bailey

I am…
I am determine to do what I set my mind to do
I keep an open heart with a smile that everyone views!!!

By Shivonne Assarah

I am wavy as the ocean
I am addictive as a potion
People call me the epitome of beauty!

By Judy Nguyen

I am many things; for words have trouble describing
My insides are as deep as the moving ocean, and
A face cannot be prejudged
