8th Grade: I Am

I am a reader who loves Turkish baklava.
I wonder when humans will die out,
and what they will leave behind.
I hear the Dark God knocking on everyone's door but mine.
I see the destruction from humans.
I want to explore the whole world,
and then settle down wherever I want to.
I am a reader who loves Turkish baklava.


I pretend to live in the lands of Tortal and Emelan.
I feel the burning sands of the Bazhir Desert.
I touch vines as they twine themselves around my hand.
I worry about spidrens, hurrocks, and tauroses.
I cry when I return to this world,
with all its pain and death.
I am a reader who loves Turkish baklava.

I understand that all things must end, except tim.
I say non of my true feelings,
unless I force myself.
I dream that I will beat my father and old teacher at organ playing.
I try to be the best friend that can be.
I hope that I can always find happiness in my life.
I am a reader who loves Turkish baklava.
