Maybe We’re Metaphors

I’m Batman, I must save gotham
to the bottom.
I’m a panther, I stay stealthy
to be healthy.
I’m a dinosaur, I’m large
and distinct.
I’m a beaver, I’m fast to get
right past.

I am an ocean
I’m big and bold
Shimmers and shines
As long as vines
I am a lake even
if I’m madmade
I’m not easy to fade
I’m strong and hold
life
I’m a pond
I disappear over time
But leave a mark like a fine
I’m a raindrop
Small not heard
Moving fast across
the glass like a bass
Tip
Tap
On the window
Trying to be let in
I’m water
I’m needed
I’m important

I am a misfit, I hear the drop of rain going clow, drop.
I am a misfit, I never glow. like a star in my moonlight is clast, blast.
I am a misfit, coming out of my words is like flowy, slowly.
I am a misfit, I need to be heard not ignored, blocked, or quiet!

I am a soccer player
While I dribble with my feet with what I can see
I am a spirit
When I fly around and go inside a sad person
and telling them to become the person and keep
working, never give up
and let your body become a feather.
I am an artist when I give my hand a
fluid motion and imagination.
I am a bird when I fly up in the calming sky
singing quietly.

I am a butterfly
I like flowers
tall like a tower,
Wham, whir
I am a butterfly,
I fly high to the sky
up high
vroom, boom
I am a dolphin
I swim
Move my limbs
splish, splash
I am a dolphin
I am noisy and loud
can be found
squeak, squeak

I am a king, I have a ring
I say lots of things, bling, shing
I am a dog, I like to play ball.
I come when my dad calls me
Ruff, Grr
I am a brick wall like saving pucks
like the Mighty Duck goalie ping
I am a skyscraper
I am tall and very big, ping

I am a star
Tiny but large and in charge
Bling, Bling
I am the sun
shining and blooming but also gleaming
sizzle, sizzle
I am a goal, bigger than them all but fragile like a dog
creak, bong
I am an engine
loud and proud but not allowed
vroom and neying.

I am a sun,
I light up bright that
can blur your sight. Sizzle.
A rose bright, red, but no sun, dead.
Oops.
A garden, beauty but not
beauty without sun.

I am a tree
full of life and everyday I grow
but even when I get cut down I’m still gonna flow (cut noise)
In the wind I’m flowing everyday I’m growing
Sitting around but never letting anything but the wind
pass me by
People sometimes use me to symbolize peace
and being free
which is all I wanna be.
I’m a tree.

I am fly
I am a bird
Whenever I tweet
I am always heard
I am fierce
Just like a lion
When you hear my roar
You know I’m not lying
The numbers get high
I am a clock
They eventually multiply
I go tick tock
I have a bunch of cars
And I just bought Mars
I just went to the mall
Cha-Ching!

I am a bouquet of roses
I was brought to someone who only wanted some fun
but instead, I ended up bringing him some happiness, laughter, and joy
While my friends were telling me to run
We made memories the both of us enjoyed
I still fear that one day I’ll get thrown away
that somehow my red petals turn brown like the mud
I hope that he’ll still stay
But if not, he’ll know that he was loved
because I am myself
I make one’s heart go fast like
“duu duu duu duu”
Even to the heart that he has himself.
