Self-Metaphor Poem: I am a Camera

Self-Metaphor Poem - Rough Draft

I Am a Camera

I perceive things from a different point of view,

Taking in everything as it goes,

Sometimes good, sometimes bad,

Still, through it all,

I know that I am strong enough to handle.

With just one click,

I make a brief minute last a lifetime.

I know that I can’t keep everything I have,

But I’m willing to give it up to make room for something new.

I may not be what you expect,

I’ll surprise you with the many stories and memories that I’m willing to share.

And when at times you feel like it’s going to end,

I’ll always be there with you to capture the moment.
