I AM

by Isabelle Ybarra

I am an artist.

I am a photographer's daughter.

I wonder how mom's feeling.

I hear mom say "I love you".

I see birds.

I want peace.

I pretend to be a fairy.

I feel happy.

I touch my hair.

I worry about my family's safety.

I cry when I am sad and scared.

I am an artist.

I understand things are going to be okay.

I say "I love you too, mom."

I dream about having a pet unicorn and pegasus.

I hope that we will be okay.

I am an artist.

Isa wrote this peom all by herself! Her school had a poetry night and each of the kids got to read a poem they wrote. She had written this poem when the school was in a lockdown so that is why she was worried about our safety. She was so brave. She thought she would be too nervous to get up and read her poem, but she did fantastic!!! She is sooo cool.
