My Mother took me skating

 

 

My mother took me skating

and we glided on the ice,

I wasn't very good at it

and stumbled more than twice.

My mother made a figure eight,

and since it seemed like fun,

I tried a little trick myself

and made a figure one.

 

I feel this poem is awesome because it shows a young kid going outside of her comfort zone.

 

 

 

 

 

I have a face for every group
None of them are the same
I switch back and forth so much
I have forgotten what the true me is

I hide my secrets
I hide my shame
I hide the hate that builds in me

I tell lies to people
and then turn away
my face so they don't see the truth.

These people I am are just facades
that I trade and swap at every place
what i would give to turn back time
and to find out what truly is my face.    

 

I feel this poem is awesome because she is letting out her emotions and saying she isn't perfect.
