 Subject  :D Garfield. 
 Message  I am Garfield and nothing more.
I wonder when the lasagna will be done
I hear the alarm go off
I see the melted cheese
I want it…now
I am Garfield and nothing more

I pretend that it will last forever
I feel tired
I touch my bed-box
I worry that I’ll have a nightmare
I cry out when I can’t find Pooky
I am Garfield and nothing more

I understand every day but…Monday
I say that I hate…Monday
I dream of a place without…Mondays
I try to forget about…Monday
I hope my Monday-less dream comes true
I am Garfield and nothing more!

I wonder why people refuse enlightement
I hear music in words
I see opportunity in the least likely of places
I want to pen art
I am ambitious and a procrastinator

I feel inadequate
I touch enigmas
I worry that I’ll never rise up
I cry about both simple things and complex

I dream to create
I try to be perfect
I hope for contentment
I am ambitious and a procrastinator

 Message  I am motivated and inspired
I wonder if I will ever graduate
I hear music from my headphones
I see the notes form a violent existence
I want to be a part of this future
I am motivated and inspired
I pretend to push my existence
I feel at peace with the world
I touch the music at my fingertips
I worry that it will break beneath me
I cry because the movements never stop
I am motivated and inspired
I understand this simplistic confusion
I say to never live in regret
I dream of honesty and beauty
I try to hold on to the struggle
I hope for internal, everlasting peace
I am motivated and inspired


...not good, but it was fun and stimulating to write and it made me think and gave me motivation to actually write something else later on today.

 Message  I am the servant who accepts it all
I wonder what’s next
I hear the tone of oblivion
I see the field in which I’m planted
I want the perfection of love
I am the servant who accepts it all
I pretend there is meaning
I feel part of a larger something
I touch power that is real
I worry for nothing
I cry for those suffering
I am the servant who accepts it all
I understand as understanding is given
I say this matters not
I dream of an awakening
I try that which is placed before me
I hope to learn more forever
I am the servant who accepts it all

 Subject  Confused 
 Message  I am conflicted and confused
I wonder at the sanity of questioning
I hear God loves me
I see nothing that can not be seen by the eye
I want let go of hesitation
I am conflicted and confused
I pretend to a confidence I have not obtained
I feel less when I cry
I touch only that which does not matter
I worry about everything
I cry but never when appropriate
I am conflicted and confused
I understand my own inconsistencies
I say what I believe has been scripted
I dream of having more wit
I try to speak when spoken to
I hope you will not be offended
I am conflicted and confused

 Message  I am ditzy and sly,
I wonder what life would be if there was no problems in the world,
I hear 50 Cent trying to rap on the radio,
I see portraits of white flowers hung on the white walls,
I want to be a famous psychiatrists,
I am ditzy and sly,
I pretend that I’m a ninja,
I feel really tired,
I touch the spirits beyond the next world,
I worry about my family getting into trouble,
I cry about leaving my family,
I am ditzy and sly,
I understand why things have to live and die,
I say that you can’t put me down even when I’m at my lowest,
I dream that one day the world will be obscure to my eyes,
I try to eat liver,
I hope that I don’t throw up the live,
I am ditzy and sly.

I wonder if Hillary will become president
I hear a weird popping sound everytime I move my wrist
I see the computer screen
I want to scratch that itch on my back

I feel all mushy I touch the key board
I worry that the stupid itch won’t go away
I cry when my I can’t have my coke
I am first line in the poem
I understand that I can understand math
I say "Is dinner ready??" at 12:11 in the afternoon
I dream of blue blobs and birds that do not fly....

I hope I eat soon

 Subject  I am  
 Message  so i definitely didn’t fill out the whole thing the first time -_-;

Iam quiet and passionate
I wonder where I’m going
I hear the winds of a thousand whispers
I see the lights that define existance
I want to be neverending
I am shy and passionate
I pretend to be a god
I feel our daily deities are false
I touch every life that I have known
I worry for our species
I cry for the nameless martyrs

I dream of being more than a mere tombstone
I try to leave my mark
I hope for a better life
I am shy and passionate

 Message  I did something not-me, but still following the structure. I decided to do something inanimate to challenge myself more.




I am silent and soft;
I wonder upon whose head I fall;
I hear the gentle drift of frozen wind;
I see the sparkle of winter stars;
I want to kiss your cheek;
I am silent and soft.
I pretend I may exist only to lovers;
I feel the warmth of their skin together;
I touch her hair as he stares;
I worry he may some day leave her;
I cry upon her, glimmering just for him.
I am silent and soft.
I understand whose hands they are in;
I say in hushed whisper, ’it is fate’;
I dream as I fall, coating them with visions;
I try to pres them closely together;
I hope that they become one;
I am silent and soft.

 Message  (couldn’t think of two so picked one instead)

I am the unwavering shadow voyager
I wonder not where my destination, but how to get there
I hear the sound of the crashing waves
I see the black and rolling storm
I want to know where my sextant is.

I am the unwavering shadow voyager.
I pretend naught, pretending is for fools
I feel the ocean’s might upon my tiny vessel
I touch the end that calls out to me.
I worry about the meaning of my journey.
I cry when it rains, for the sky cries with me

I am the unwavering shadow voyager.
I understand that the end does not justify the means
I say it doesn’t matter the state of the waters, eventually I am leaving them
I dream that I can touch heaven.
I try to sail with my head held high.
I hope that I will get there someday, for

I am the unwavering shadow voyager.

I hear racist words
I see banana peels thrown at me on the bus

 Message  I am a dreamer and a free spirit
I wonder what lies behind the horizon visible to me
I hear the sounds of screams everyday
I see the hardships of life and living
I want peace and sanctity
I am a dreamer and a free spirit
I pretend to live by the rules
I feel lost yet happy
I touch the sky or at least I think I do
I worry about what may happen in the future
I cry when helplessness is knocking on my door
I am a dreamer and a free spirit
I understand every lesson taught yet know so little
I say what i believe and what I mean
I dream of perfect nights and wistfulness
I try to have fun whenever I can
I hope for a better day than today
I am a dreamer and a free spirit

 Message  I am a wanderer and an artistic individual.
I wonder if people will ever be able to comprehend life or even if it’s suppsed to be understood.
I hear Moonlight Sonata and feel at peace.
I see a reality,usually one that I invent,but a reality none the less.
I want like nothing else to entertain and educate the masses with my works.
I am a wanderer and an artistic individual.
I pretend that this world doesn’t exist,to be free from it all if only for a couple minutes.
I feel like I have a cause worth fighting for.
I touch the alicorn of the almighty,fantastical unicorn and wonder how anybody could ever despise a war horse quite so beautiful.
I worry that my life is without meaning and that my soul will die on one day without fulfilling any purpose what so ever.
I cry for those that never had a chance to experience life to its fullest,never tried for their goals,and never attempted to do anything to change that fact.
I am a wanderer and an artistic individual.
I understand what it means to read between the lines,however I don’t understand why nobody ever does.
I dream of inspiring people to change for the better,to change the unchangeable factors of their lives.
I try to please people and finish what I started for the sake of finishing it and learning a valuable lesson from it all.
I hope that my life will be lived to the fullest and serve its purpose.
I am a wanderer and an artistic individual.

((I know I already did this but I felt my views have changed since then so this is my current view of my life,just felt I needed to say that for some reasons so my apologies.))
