Oh geeze......we've gone and hijacked prufrock's nice thread. Now, I've gotta try and make it right.....

I wonder if Frank will ever stop blaming me for the Yemen experience
I hear voices in the background
I see sunshine and daisies
I want love and peace
I am Sunny the great and wonderful

I pretend to know as much as Hoss
I feel empathy
I need sunshine and daisies
I worry there aren't enough cookies for Scott
I am Sunny the great and wonderful

I understand Flake needs her chocolate
I say sunshine and daisies for everyone
I dream constantly
I try to help OoO understand Southern culture
I hope DiO and OoO will come for a visit
I am Sunny the great and wonderful

I wonder why dog's can't speak
I hear them all try
I see the stupid cat
I want to make him cry
I am the SwiftDog

I pretend not to hear master's voice
I feel them watching me
I need to make a choice
I worry they will never see
I am the SwiftDog

I understand therefore I am
I say no way man
I dream of swimming in the sea
I try to be
I hope to see
I am the SwiftDog
goo goo gajoob. It just needed that, swiftdog!;;D;;D

I wonder why the number Pi thinks it's so special.
I hear the voices.
I see dead people.
I want free stuff.
I am so high.

I pretend to think.
I feel like peeing.
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down.
I worry about fleas.
I am so high.

I understand very little.
I say the wrong things.
I dream of Jeannie.
I try substances.
I hope the Earth doesn't suddenly stop spinning.
I am so high.

Heart of the South
I wonder if I will matter.
I hear their words.
I see their smiles.
I want to believe,
I am important to someone.

I pretend to be stronger than I am.
I feel fragile.
I need to know.
I worry I will never realize that
I am important to someone.

I understand my clock is ticking.
I say, please slow down and wait for me.
I dream of times before and
I try to hold them in my mind.
I hope the future embraces me and lets me know,
I am important to someone.


I wonder what it's like to die
I hear that drowning feels peaceful
I see horrible violence in the world
I want it to stop
I am very frightened

I pretend not to be afraid
I feel anxious all of the time
I need to discover peace
I worry that I never will
I am very frightened

I understand, we're in the same boat
I say I'm okay when I'm not
I dream of pop quizzes I'm not prepared for and working a new job I can't understand
I try to cope
I hope in vain
I am very frightened

I wonder how I got here
I hear the pass of time
I see nothing but these four walls
I want to reach for the sky
I am stuck

I pretend I am happy
I feel trapped
I need to break free
I worry no one will set me free
I am stuck

I understand everything
I say nothing
I dream of summer nights
I try to remember
I hope to forget
I am stuck

These are beautiful. And so real and true.

I wonder who will save rock and roll
I hear nothing of substance
I see only poseurs and wannabes
I want something from the soul
I am a guitar gangster

I pretend the end isn't near
I feel the tide turn as the echos fade
I need angry guitar and killer groove
I worry that the machines will take it all down
I am a guitar gangster

I understand music is ever changing
I say that is as it should be
I dream of a thousand guitar driven bands
I try to distort my way through
I hope they will come to believe
I am a guitar gangster

Write a poem about yourself using the pattern below. [My poem follows.]

I Am, a Poem About Myself

I wonder what life would be like on Mars.
I hear a robin outside my window.
I see the possibility of a united humanity.
I want to publish more often.
I am a poet first, an artist second.

I pretend I can move like Elvis.
I feel marginally content.
I need more money.
I worry about the rise in taxes.
I cry when a loved one dies.
I am a poet first, an artist second.

I understand the universe began in a big bang.
I say you can achieve anything.
I dream of traveling in outer space.
I try to write everyday.
I hope humanity will choose peace over war.
I am a poet first, an artist second.

I wonder about my life ahead
I hear doubt that it'll be promising
I see that it is promising!
I want to share a bit of my life with others
I am a loyal friend and hard worker

I pretend to put the past behind me
I feel evil around every corner
I need strength to push away evil once and for all
I worry that evil will overcome me one day
I am a loyal friend and hard worker

I understand insanity
I say outlandish, crazy but "make you think" things
I dream of outrageous, odd, but pleasant things
I try to do things outside my box to get ahead
I hope it works
I am a loyal friend and hard worker

I appreciated this :) This was fun by the way Prufrock21 :thumbs_up:=D
