Poem: I Am

I am the only tree standing in the yard
I am a knife stabbed through a person’s heart
I am a bee trying to find a flower to sit on
I am a kitten trying to run
I am an insect stepped on by a boy
I am a broken unwanted toy
I am a sick little puppy asking for help
I am a book with ripped up pages lying on the shelf
