Walt Whitman once wrote a poem called "Song of Myself". It's a beautiful poem, and we were asked to write an imitation. This is mine
I change myself, and create myself
And when I dance you shall laugh
For every ambiance there is a me as good as you
I laugh and gather myselves
We have spent the years in mythology,
Joining the creatures of fiction,
Crowing in simplistic revelries.
Myselves, I form from words and song and laugh
Born of contentment and anger, love and frustration
I, now becoming whole in being,
Combine myselves at the end of juvenality
Math and magic are passing
I rest my mind from strain of their thought, but not yet unloved
I create and combine, for better or worse,
The many facets of my mortality.
