Me.

Well this is a poem that I wrote my junior year of High School about my self--I find it pretty interesting: I am glad somethings change and some stay the same.

My nicknames are: Bella

Ellie Belly

Elle

and "W"

But to everyone else I am Elliot

Simply said I am Elliot

Inside: I am Original

Music is my passion

Art is the color of my soul

And being different fuels my smile

My Eyes are pools of deceit

I can fool you with my eyes

Teach your eyes to lie and no one will ever know

When I am sad my eyes lie

They have learned to smile when I'm sad

My heart: Is an ocean of waves

I just jump in my boat

and hold on for the ride

An electric lemon taste will

Burn my mouth

I hate sour tastes

Quiet and well thought out people inspire me

Honest people humble me

I walk: On a ruler

Measuring my every step

Calculating my never ending life

My Mind: Wonders

Analyzing every option

Spinning in a world of mirrors

Looking at me from ever angle

Openly examining you

My life is in a perspective

Remembered in scenes

A snapshot

A glimpse

Pictured through a lens of an old broken camera

I hope I have fallen off the ruler. I hope that I am not calculating and measuring every step--I hope that my eyes have learned how to portray necessary sadness to those I trust. I am glad that I no longer hate sour tastes and that I no longer just jump in to my boat and hold on for a ride--I am learning how to sail and navigate. I am glad that inside I am sill striving to be me--loving art, originality, smiling, loving people and my God.

Today God help us see what we were, what YOU want to change us to--and how to let YOU.
