Finalist in the 'Summertime Fun 2008/2009' competition

Living in this world, striving to be me,
I am a soldier, battling adversity,
I am as confident as Mother Nature,
As important as the earth,
I am swift, I am cunning, I am me.
My face is smooth and delicate,
My cheeks as pale as the moon,
My mind is a dictionary, a computer, a tool,
I think to an extent, feel as powerful as nature,
I am curious, I am fragile, that is me.
My actions are unique, my power is my own,
I am a spark shining soothingly, smiling at the stars,
I have a hidden love of dancing, drama and the arts,
I speak from the heart, following my instincts,
I am a dreamer, I am a believer, I am me.
I am unique.
