CONTRAST POEM

1. I am not a toy so you cannot play me
    I am not a toy so you cannot undress me
    I am not a toy so you cannot push me away
    I am not a toy  so you cannot give me a way
    I am not a toy so you cannot break me

2. I am not a tree so you cannot cut me
    I am not a tree so you cannot climbed me
    I am not a tree so I cannot shade you
    I am not a tree so I cannot fruit for you
    I am not a tree so I cannot be taller than you

3. I am not a chair so you cannot sit on me
    I am not a chair so you cannot drag me
    I am not a chair so I cannot carry you
    I am not a chair so I cannot comfortable to you
    I am not a chair so you cannot lean on me

4. I am responsible and thoughtful

    I wonder what my children will be like

    I hear whispers around the room

    I see smiles and lingering glances

    I want to become a university professor

    I am responsible and thoughtful

   

5. I pretend I am a princess

    I feel hope and sorrow

    I touch fluffy blankets and pillows

    I worry about too much violence

    I cry when I'm frustrated

6. I understand that life has ups and downs

    I say that problems are opportunities in disguise

    I dream about everyone being taken care of

    I try to help everyone find success

    I hope that I make a positive difference
