You too can make your own poem!
List 5 important moments in your life.
Then when you have done that, put "I am" in front of each moment.
It is poetry.

I am The moment when I came out of my mothers womb.
I am The time I bought my first piece of makeup.
I am The day I bought my first dog.
I am The time my grandparents died.
I am The moment I came to a realisation.

I am The time I got into the university.
I am The time my mother dropped everything to help me escape a bad mistake.
I am The first time I've seen my father in a year.
I am The first time I braved a "haunted house".
I am The first time I'd picked up an instrument.

I am that day I decided not to care
I am the time I drew a heart on a bus pole
I am the time I realized I have S.A.D
I am that lunch time in primary school
I am three days ago.

I am the time I broke a bone
I am that day in winter.
I am the time I took a decision
I am the day I almost died
I am the day I decided not to care.

I am Duane's raging bile duct
I am Duane's cold sweat
I am Duane's complete lack of surprise
I am Duane's inflamed sense of rejection
I am Duane's smirking revenge
I am Duane's broken heart

I am the day I found my candles.
I am the day my brother died.
I am the day I woke up.
I am the day I walked away.
I am the day I stood up.

That's what you think! It's false however, because I don't remember there being anything like this in Fight Club.

I am the girl who never knew her father
I am the girl who sometimes wished she didn't know her mother
I am the child thrust from school to school, then taken out
I am the girl who made it into college, twice, against all odds
I am the artist whose life is just beginning

I am a moment in perfect harmony with myself
I am a moment concious about the sea of time and the greatness of all
I am a single teardrop of mad happiness
I am the one who was touched by beauty again and again
I am the love burning and exploding inside my isolation
(god , I am so many things ...)

I'am the day suicide entered my mind.
I'am the day I began to laugh.
I'am the day I began to live again.
I'am the day I wished it would all end.
I'am the teen that lives in your imagination.

No, you are most definitely the teen that resides in the realm of the everyday and the mundane.

Wtf?! This thread completely ruined my day and, at the same time, shitted all over the face of true poetry. I hate you all.
