Who Am I poem


Daniel Brizuela                                                                                                                                  2/1/12 Search for Idntity12/5A-B                                                                                                          Mr. Beatty
Who Am I poem.


Who am I?
Just who exactly?
A filmmaker,
A novelist,
A poet,
A dreamer,
A man with imagination,
Maybe I’m all of the above.
Who am I?
A good question asked,
And with so many answers!
Who am I?
Someone who has so many ideas,
And the same amount of dreams,
Along with wishes!
Who am I?
A caring person,
A loving person,
I’m a man, who wants challenges,
A guy who wants to work harder and harder,
Is that what I am?
Who am I?
I’m not Humphrey Bogart,
Or Marlon Brando,
I know I’m not James Patterson.
Who am I?
Definitely not Bruce Wayne,
Or even Jason Voorhees.
Who am I?
I am my own person.
I am me!
Me is just fine,
It’s definitely fine with me.
Who am I?
I could be a clown,
I could be insane,
Maybe I could be a jerk.
But that’s not me.
It’s definitely not me!
At all!
Who am I?
I’m someone who could be better.
Someone who learns,
Maybe from mistakes,
Maybe from others!
Who am I?
Maybe perfect?
I don’t think so,
That’s hard to believe.
I’m not perfect.
Who am I?
I’m me,
Someone who works hard to succeed,
The kind of person, who will change something,
And for the better!
That’s who I am!

When the Rock fell poem


Daniel Brizuela                                                                                         10/20/11
When the Rock Fell poem.
The rock has fallen,

It fell to the ground with no noise.

The rock has fallen,

No one is picking it up.

The rock has fallen,

Why won’t anyone help it?

The rock has fallen,

It is clear that no one will help it.

The rock has fallen,

I will help it then if no one else will.
