I am a petal
A soft violet
Dangling from a rose
Of prickled spirit

I am a feather
A speckled plume
Soaring through hallways
With a trail of ink

I am a parchment
A rough canvas
Spilled with inner thoughts
Expelling those around me

I am a dreamy spirit
A writer
Soaring through hallways
With a trail of ink

The author's comments:
This poem is completely derived from the high school writer and how they stand out from a bland crowd. I think it describes myself pretty well, actually.
