Organized, stubborn, calm. 


I am a bird migrating with its flock.

I am a backpack which holds all the school supplies.

I am the stars that form a constellation.

I am the hanger used for each clothing item.

I am the rainbow that follows a harsh rain.


I am organized, stubborn, and calm.


Patient, adventurous, forceful.


I am not the breeze traveling across the world.

I am not the alarm that rings in the morning.

I am not a lion hunting for its prey.

I am not the leaves waiting to fall in autumn.

I am not a dam holding back loads of water.


I am not patient, adventurous, or forceful.
