Who am I?

This poem was written for this blog to let everyone know who I really am.

By Theresa Sinclair

I think that I am quiet, because I love to read and rhyme.

An impulsive, fun loving risk taker almost all of the time.

I go from one extreme to the other in the blink of an eye.

I put up many different fronts, although I cannot tell you why.

At school, I’m like the other teens just trying to survive the day.

An emotional and demanding girl who likes to get her way.

At times I can be domineering, a gift from my mother I presume.

A self righteous but persuasive being, taught to ask and not assume.

Sociable and charming, with many friends both near and far.

Egocentric and unusual, some may even say bizarre.

My influential nature prompts me to take the lead. 

While my pessimistic ranting, causes my foes to concede.

When my school day’s finally over then the “real me” may appear,

I tend to be self-critical, direct, decisive and yet sincere.

Gregarious in many ways, especially among my peers.

Trusting and observing, still realistic about my fears.

My name is Theresa E. Sinclair, after Great Grandma Crook.

A rare eccentric child who deserves a second look.

I like to think I’m complicated, both a lion and a lamb.

It could take a lifetime to discover who I am.
