I AM Poem

By: Kayla Spalter

I am creative and clumsy

I wonder what I will fall on next

I hear the muffins in the oven beeping

I see the floor come closer as I fall  

I want to watch where I am going

I am creative and clumsy

I pretend to be a contestant on The Food Network

I feel the paint brush in my hand

I touch the refrigerator door to get the ingredients 

I worry that I will kill myself someday

I cry when I fall on something hard

I am creative and clumsy

I understand that I can hurt myself someday

I say that I am not THAT clumsy, but I really am

I dream that I will never walk into a wall again  

I try not to make a mistake on the painting

I hope I don’t mess up because I don’t like to start over  

I am creative and clumsy
