I Used to Be Today But Now I Am Tomorrow –– Poems @ Avondale Logandale

I used to be a unicorn frappuccino
But now I am a unicorn
I used to be a fish
But now I am a mermaid
I used to be a book
But now I am paper
I used to be a desk
But now I am a pencil

I used to be a book
But now I am a folder
I used to be a water bottle
But now I am the sea
I used to be a heart
But now I am heartbroken
I used to be the snow
But now I am the wind
I used to be a tree
But now I am the grass
I used to be a shell
But now I am a pearl

I used to be a rainbow
But now I am a rainstorm
I used to be a butterfly
But now I am a caterpillar
I used to be a sweater
But now I am a girl

I used to be 8 years old
But now I am 9 years old
I used to be a banana
But now I am still a banana
I used to be crazy
But now I am calm
I used to be sad
But now I am happy
I used to be in trouble
But now I am not

I used to be quiet like a slug
But now I am loud like a tiger
I used to be addition
But now I am subtraction
I used to be green eyes
But now I am blue eyes
I used to be Melissa
But now I am Ms. Beth

I used to be a carrot
But now I am a potato
I used to be a sigh
But now I am a book
I used to be a paint
But now I am a marker
I used to be wood
But now I am wool

I used to be a skunk
But now I am perfume
I used to be a girl but now I am a queen
I used to be a pond but now I am a ocean
I used to be a sheep but now I am a teddy bear
I used to be a sheet but now I am a book
I used to be a baby but now I am a girl

I used to be today
But now I am tomorrow
I used to be pink
But now I am purple
I used to be water
But now I am lava
I used to be a girl
But now I am a boy
I used to be mole
But now I am tamales

I used to be a word
But now I am a book
I used to be an empty water bottle
But now I am full
I used to be blank
But now I am colored
I used to be a reader
But now I am a writer
I used to be a listener
But now I am a speaker
I used to be a member
But now I am the leader
