I Am

Mama Kat Prompt: Fill in the blanks of this template and create your own I Am poem.

Yeah, so, I thought this would just be a fun, little poem, but it suddenly got very introspective and a little scary.  I even debated if I wanted this out here.  But, yeah, here I am.  I'm letting you into the depths of my soul--tread gently.

I Am

I am intellectual and sensitive
I wonder what others really think of me
I hear motors whirring
I see puzzles decoding
I want to be seen for who I truly am inside
I am intellectual and sensitive

I pretend I don't care what others think
I feel my heart thumping
I touch each heartbeat
I worry that I talk too much and say the wrong thing
I cry when I think I've failed
I am intellectual and sensitive

I understand God made me who I am
I say God loves me no matter what
I dream to speak freely one day
I try to banish fear
I hope people will see me as God sees me
I am intellectual and sensitive
