You gave me a list of rules,
And told me to run with it.
You provided the tools,
How I use them is up to me.

I look round me.
Out the windows, the doors.
There are many things to see.
But what do I choose?

There are shoes, shirts and pictures,
Walls, covered in books,
With their hidden adventures.
But what do I choose?

Black and white, and colors and shapes,
There are new things and fun things,
Like old cassette tapes.
But what do I choose?

The bell sounds with a 'ping'.
I'm still sitting here,
With this darn thing.
But hey, you wanted a 'Creative Title'.

The author's comments:
Our teacher told us to write a ballad, and we had to have a Creative Title. So, I wrote the 'Creative Title' poem.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
