Today our Year 1 CYM students are thinking about the therapeutic uses of play. We wanted to share the following poem with you that one of the students wrote in response to reading a book called Dibbs in Search of Self, which explores this idea.
Who Am I…
I
I am no one, a wanderer forced to stay on this plane
I am everything, what I touch and see, what I taste
I am hidden and unavailable and silent
I am obvious
I am here and I am shouting my name
I am invisible
You hate me, I hate myself
You love me, I have to learn to learn to love
One helps another to grow
We learn together,
We grow together,
An age passes
I see me differently
You see me differently
We see me differently
I am a voice that commands attention
I am a person who is there
I am a boy
