the i am poem

I am sweet and down-to-earth.
I wonder if I'll ever learn how to surf.
I hear the wind whistling.
I see the water smashing up against the rocks.
I want to live on the beach.
I am sweet and down-to-earth.

I pretend to swim like a fish.
I feel relaxed.
I touch the grainy sand.
I worry about not getting the chance to travel.
I would cry if I had to go to a in-state college.
I am sweet and down-to-earth.

I understand that time goes by fast.
I believe life is what you make it.
I dream about leaving California.
I try to do good in school.
I hope I eventually learn how to surf.
I am sweet and down-to-earth.
