Hola, people! Guess what I found under my bed! This wonderful poem from eighth grade! Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Giver, Jonas, or anything having to do with it


I…am Jonas

I am brave and determined

I wonder if this world I am trapped in will ever change

I hear the sounds of all my acquired memories

I see a brighter future somewhere, just no way to get to get

I want people to understand what I've seen and learned

I am brave and determined

I pretend nothing is wrong when I'm around my friends and family

I feel the reality of the memories that I have

I touch different memories when I'm in need for adventure

I worry no one in my community will ever live a full life

I cry when I recall heartrending memories

I am brave and determined

I understand that things used to be different and that nothing is perfect

I say everyone deserves the right to live

I dream of a world full of color and sound

I try to be strong and hopeful for the community

I hope what I accomplish in the future will help the community

I am brave and determined


Hope ya liked it! Please review!
