I Am

I Am
I am a giant, with a cowlick in my hair.
I wonder why that cowlick is there.
I hear the voices of my friends like a person listening to the radio.
I see my dad, a Goliath next to my sister.
I want to be like him someday, strong as an ox, and tall as a tree.
I am a giant, with a cowlick in my hair.

I pretend to be a pro basketball player at my house.
I feel that writers’ block is a disease that I have.
I touch people with my poems.
I worry not about what people think of me, but what they think of my actions, and whether they can tell I’m good.
I cry when I feel a lot of strong emotions, usually sad.
I am a giant, with a cowlick in my hair.

I understand that I should not have hard feelings against anyone.
I say what I think is best.
I dream about being a world famous poet.
I try to look people in the eye.
I hope that I am a good friend.
I am a giant, with a cowlick in my hair.
