How I Am

By Molly Zaloudek

My forehead 
Is like a pinecone full of ladybugs 
With spaghetti ends dangling down

My eyes 
Are like diamonds in the sky 
That let out a shine

My ears 
Are like a saxophone 
Waiting to be heard

My nose 
Is like a window 
That stands out perfectly

My mouth 
Is like the morning conch 
That awakes its song

My chin 
Is like a shipwreck 
In the Atlantic Ocean

My voice 
Is like a bird singing in the forest 
Longing for harmony to approach to me

The morning sun 
Is like my smile 
Waiting to be heard

My wonderful true kindness
Is like lava 
That becomes water of love

My life
Is like a maze of music
Wanting to improve and succeed

Flying on a motorcycle
Is my smooth imagination
Wandering into space
