Seven Ways of Looking at Me

I.

I am tall and lean,

Handsome and attractive.

I walk with swagger,

And appear strong and bold.

II.

I am kind and good hearted,

Full of charisma.

Able to make self-sacrifices,

Always willing to help someone in need.

III.

But my kindness is not a weakness,

Tug me the wrong way and I will retaliate.

I will snap in a way that no one would be able to recognize me,

A Jekyll and Hyde type of dilemma.

IV.

Where does this anger come from you ask.

My childhood and other unpleasant experiences,

Is what most people would say

If they knew my life.

V.

Growing up without a father,

Hanging around with bad influences,

Getting in trouble with the law,

These may be reasons for this uncontrollable fury.

VI.

But enough of that,

I know look at the future.

I will not pity myself,

I will use these misfortunes in my early life as my inspiration.

VII.

My only focus now

Is my education.

This is my key,

To my desired life.

    Good job. However, unlike the assignment, this is more just a poem about you than 10 ways of looking at you, where each stanza should be a new perspective.
