Just Me

- Poem by Rushi Shah, Grade 11

Stars in sky, seas on earth

Luster of light emitted

Reflecting in the sea

Reminding me of who I am.

My identity, I am just me!

A baffled person not knowing

Where he wants to end up.

Such an immense world

What can I do?

Did I ever realize I can help someone?

Help myself.

Even help the world.

Vacillating on what I have to do

Will I have a vocation?

Do I have an aspiration?

Assuage my fear and illuminate it,

With bright light

Shining down from stars in sky.

I just read a lovely, inspiring essay by Pulitzer Prize winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, in which she reflects about who she is. Rushi - you might like it. Take a look at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11571059/site/newsweek/

I can relate to what she's talking about. The feelings and the understanings are true. It makes me think about more things,

I can understand what she is talking about. It is a nice and touching poem about life it-self. This kind of work can inspire people.

i enjoyed the poa, "just me" because it used creative wording to show its meaning. i liked the way the writer wants to change the world.

This poem reminds me of the future because I look up to the sky i think what will come of me will I become a failure or not.
