I am....assignment....you should try it.

I took a speach class in college...and one of our first assignments was to complete the following sentances with the first thing that comes to mind, and the "I am" is going to be the same each time...
Here is the blank format,

I am...
I wonder...
I hear...
I see...
I want...
I am...

I pretend...
I feel...
I touch...
I worry...
I cry...
I am...

I understand...
I say...
I dream...
I try...
I hope...
I am...

The following are my answers to this....the first set of answers are what I put on my assignment...the second, is when I took the format, without reviewing what I wrote before, I did it again.. wow....things are different.

I am patient and naive
I wonder if I were strong enough could things have been different
I hear all the words my heart screams but my mouth refuses to say
I see oppertunities slip by because of my inability to grasp them
I want to be able to have the confidence and know how to pursue my future and conquer my demons
I am patient and naive

I pretend to like people when I really don't
I feel the pains deep inside of where I let people tread
I touch the hearts of the people who abuse mine
I worry that I may turn into the very abuser who plagues me
I cry thinking of what I want to be but can't, and sniffle at the possiblities
I am patient and naive

I understand that not everyone transforms your life into a topsy-turvy carnival
I say that there is no other heronie in my story but me
I dream of the one who has the ability to dry my tears and promotes smiles
I try to be true to myself, this is a daily struggle
I hope this all makes more sense to you than it does me
I am patient and naive

I am unsure of what I have become
I wonder what the year has in store
I hear that I don't have to be respected
I see that life is what I make of it
I want to know the truth, but am not sure if I can handle it
I am unsure of what I have become

I pretend nothing is wrong all the time
I feel cheated when I do that
I touch my head in my hands, because I am tired
I worry too much
I cry a lot, too much in fact.
I am unsure what I have become

I understand that I am not superwoman
I say things I don't mean sometimes
I dream of a more organized me
I try to do things, but I get distracted and lazy
I hope for good things for my family and me
I am unsure what I have become
