Chatterbox: Inkwell

Help?

So, for my gifted support class I'm doing something and I would like your advice.

We've been studying identity and perspective this unit, and to finish up we have to make a project defending a related idea.

I chose "My identity and perspective are constantly changing" and decided to write a poem. I'd like to see your thoughts on it. 

*clears throat*

A person flows

Like a river

Through life

Everchanging

Our identity

For we cannot stop

The current of events

That throws us around

And shakes us upside down

And when it stops

We might look around

And wonder

If the grass was always such a brilliant emerald green

We might look in the mirror

Every morning

After a sleepless night

Filled with worrying

Or a quiet one

Laced with peace and rest

And the mirror

Might reflect

Someone who wasn’t there

Yesterday

Someone wiser

Someone stronger

Someone sadder

Someone new

Our river flows

Through tough waves

And gentle passages

Never a set form

An everchanging

Identity

Thanks in advance!
