What I Think Poem by Scarlett Voight

What I Think



My Daddy thinks I am the greatest
Daughter that could have been given to him
I find myself comparing myself to my older sister
I'm not confident like her
I'm a genius in my daddy's eyes
I am a procrastinator at best
I do like school

Onii-sama thinks I am weak
I've found strength in my beliefs, in loving
Onii-sama believes I am a child
I am as old as I want to be
It's better to see things as a child
It makes me different
Special, happy
I like it that way,
I find others do too

Mom thinks I'm unsocial, that
I don't want to be with THE family
I just get embarrassed easily
And annoyed
She says I'm a grouch
Well, don't wake me up in the morning
I can do it myself

Oma looks at me with tears in her eyes
She thinks I'm stupid for being religious
She told me so
She loves me a lot,
I really love her too
Oma thinks I'm beautiful, a miracle baby
Maybe, who really knows?

I'm honest, kind, forgiving
I try to give love a differnet meaning to people
I believe everyone needs it
I really mean it when I tell them I love them
Shy? Most definitely.
I'm an insecure, worried, airhead
I trust easily, a little too easily
I find family difficult to have fun with
Amongst friends I'm completely
True to them and myself
I am who I am
An Individual amongst many

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My teacher wanted to know what people thought of us, and what i really thought of myself. So this is what I came up with. Onii-sama is Japanese for my big brother whom I respect, and Oma is German for Grandmother. Dosnt sound much like much of a poem though...
