Autobiographia Literaria

When I was a child
I played by myself in a
corner of the schoolyard
all alone.

I hated dolls and I
hated games, animals were
not friendly and birds
flew away.

If anyone was looking
for me I hid behind a
tree and cried out "I am
an orphan."

And here I am, the
center of all beauty!
writing these poems!
Imagine!

    i used it for my homework and it is an okay poem, my teacher Mrs.Peters told everyone to because she wants us to know what he meant by it and even though my sister can do better it was alright
