I AM POEM

8. I am laid back and a procrastinator.
I wonder what my life will be like in the future.
I hear the thoughts in my head.
I see myself living a happy life.
I want to accomplish my goals.
I laid back and a procrastinator.
I pretend like I don’t care whats in the past.
I feel annoyed a lot of the time.
I touch peoples hearts when I speak to them.
I worry about sports.
I cry when I’m upset.
I am laid back and a procrastinator.
I understand that life is not perfect.
I say everything happens for a reason.
I dream about people in my life.
I try to work hard at everything.
I hope that I will marry and have children later in life.
I am laid back and a procrastinator.

FOOD
Food is the best thing ever, I
love it. I eat food all day long
and I don’t stop. My favorite
food is maccoroni. I love straw-
berry swirl Dove Chocolate. It is
even better than mac’n cheese.
I also really like vanilla shakes. If
you dip french fries in it it’s the
best. You have to make sure
they are crispy though. That
brings me to bacon, ohh man
bacon. One of the best things
you will ever taste. Sweet corn is
another really good one. But you
have to make sure that you add
salt. And butter you have to add
the butter. Moral of the story is,
food is great.
