A poem in the shape of a diamond that reads as follows: Writing Is what I do I make poems With silly shapes Meant to be symbolic Others just think it's nice A superficial message read Not seeing what is underneath At what the words point towards Some scroll past and think it's weird But others see what I aim to proclaim Those that know me say it's a reflection That my writing and creations represent me They reflect the way I think and interact They reflect how I perceive the world How my mind functions everyday Seeing shapes that others don't Always finding new patterns Making the connections Seeking commonalities With understanding To make peace Encouraging Tranquility Closure The word "Diamond" is written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.

A poem outlining a person's reflection. It reads as follows: Hold on to hope Hope breeds strength Strength that is always there There is something for you to get Get up and find somewhere to go Go try something new and see See what you can make of it It will take plenty of work Work on what you know Know where to look Look for a way Way to see See the act Act out of habits Habits we blindly follow Follow not caring where they lead Lead us somewhere where they drain Drain the energy from the mind and body Body is busy consuming when it has time Time which we complain we do not have Have new ways to invest your attention Attention is a gift we can give to others Others should be what we care about About looking beyond what serves us Us breaking from habits that are old Old choices that will no longer hold The word "Reflection" is written in a geometric font on top of the outlined words.
