Who I Am Poem by William Lindenmuth

I am so much more

Then you may know

in many ways

We are the same

The differences make me who I am

A player in a wonderful game

Who I am

Will make you smile

And will sometimes make you cry

But I have changed throughout my years

From caterpillar to butterfly

like each precious flower

Reaching out toward the light

I have blossomed and I’ve grown

With a future clear and bright

Who I am is truly more

then the sum of all my parts

I have shared and have connected

With kind and caring hearts

don’t let appearances fool you

Like the cover of a book

Judge me by my actions

Not by the way I look

For within me there is a spirit

The heart of my true being

It makes me who I am

making this world worth seeing
