It was on the side board on the hall, along with other students' posting, but somehow I found hers is beautiful and so poetic. Especially for a 5th Grade Elementary Student.
~ MY INSIDE OUTSIDE POETRY ~
My Inside Self and Outside Self
Are as different as can be
My outside self is impatient
With dumb short dyed hair
I'm very short and cannot draw
I'm not pretty at all
With still no one to care
But my inside self is different
As you can see
My inside self is perfect
I'm calm and patient
With long gold hair
For all my family and friends to care
My inside self is petty
Which I can guarantee
Because inside me is a Dancer
Waiting to be free
by Linda Lin
In America, children at the youngest age are encouraged to express themselves. Look how beautiful their soul and mind nourish. I don't think I could make such a poem when I was 11 year old.
Just remember, ... there's a lil kid inside of you that dreams .. waiting to be free.
Selamat Hari Anak Nasional - 23 Juli 2004.
I hope deep in my heart, one day .. I can do something to help those unfortunate kids. I don't know how, so hear me God.
