"I wish for change... I dream to see it."

I used to be a raindrop,
but now I am an ocean

I seem to be a tear,
but really I am an emotion

I used to be isolated
from everyone now I am social

I used to be a little girl; blue eyes and a pretty dress
but now I am confident, you'll be impressed

I used to be a believer,
but now I am an achiever

I seem to be weak,
but really I am stronger than you think

I seem to be indifferent,
but really I am unique

I wish to be significant,
and i dream for my child to be outstanding.

All right! This one is awesome! I feel as though you've all overcome
your problems! Nicely done.

I thought that this was a very strong poem. It can describe our whole
generation. It says that we have the potential to become anything we
want to be if we work hard at it. It also says that we get more mature
as we grow and can stand to do things on our own. This poem was
amazing.

This poem is great. I agree with Adam and Antonio, how the poem sums
up overcoming problems and growing up. I found the lines "I used to be
a raindrop, but now I am an ocean" and "I seem to be a tear, but
really I am an emotion" are reaaaal deep...I like how you guys put
them together to rhyme too. The title is creative, how you guys used
one of the structure sentences and used it. yeah..great poem

This poem reminds me of the "Lost Generation" poem we studied in
class. It shows just how much we can accomplish in such small simple
thoughts. The comments are right - to think of one raindrop as strong
and large as an ocean should make all of you realize just how powerful
you are as one individual. With time, dedication and effort you too
could be as strong as an ocean - and yes - that's as cheesy as I'll
get for this evening.
Well done and keep the posts coming!

I like the poem. It seems to flow really well together and the title
was creative as mentioned above. Thing I liked most about it would be
the fact that it’s like a poem I can actually search up and the
ingenuity of it. For me, the poem sounds like different aspects
looking at the same thing, which would be the thoughts of today’s
teenagers and young adults.

I agree with Ms. Mauricio, this poem does have its similarities to the
"Lost Generation." The poem summarizes a teenagers life, overcoming
challenges and growing up. It's a really touching poem and it is
inspirational towards others to do their best in everything they do .
Also great structure and really strong imagery.

This one is one of my favourites of the poems everyone made. What I
like most about this poem is how it had a different approach than the
other poems, especially when it personifies raindrop and tear. It
gives off a more subtle message, and I love reading those in poems and
songs. It really makes you think, and gives off different
interpretations.

I really like this poem it reminds me of growing up and being more
mature
