\u201cI AM\u201d Poem<\/span><\/b> <\/b>By: Mahla Shapiro<\/p>\n

I am creative and excited about colour<\/p>\n

I wonder how different threads and facets connect together in our world<\/p>\n

I hear ideas, student laughter and the frustration of a mind block<\/p>\n

I see blank canvases before me, eager to learn and take in.<\/p>\n

I want to inspire and endlessly be inspired,<\/p>\n

I am creative and excited about colour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I pretend to be in different loved cities around the world,<\/p>\n

I feel their vibrancy when I close my eyes and take myself there<\/p>\n

I touch my memories from the past.<\/p>\n

I worry my thoughts are not adequately conveyed through my doing,<\/p>\n

I cry when I see people in undeserved situations.<\/p>\n

I am creative and excited about colour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I understand everyone has a purpose,<\/p>\n

I say everything happens for a reason, even if we don\u2019t understand what that is.<\/p>\n

I dream to one-day make a positive difference in my external environment<\/p>\n

I try to brighten peoples\u2019 days by sending letters in the mail<\/p>\n

I hope to motivate creativity in my students<\/p>\n

I am creative and excited about colour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
