Like a sheep, I am lost.
Like a horse, I am independent and strong.
Like a wolf, I am fierce and graceful.
Like a dove, I can be peaceful.
Like a bull, I have a temper.
Like a puppy, I sometimes whimper.
Like a mouse, I am shy.
Like a fox, I ma sly.
I am like every animal in the kingdom.
At times I am an ant, and at others, I am an eagle.

The author's comments:
I am everything. I am strong and I am weak. I am chatty at times, and at others I can barely speak. I love and I hate. I understand, and I under-estimate. I am a small town, and I am a huge city. At times I am ugly. At times I am pretty. I am who I am and that's just the truth. Anyone who knows me knows I'm me. I only hope that you are you. :)

This is so creative!!!!  It's amazing!!!!  My only suggestion is maybe you should proofread it a little better...you spelled "am" wrong.  Haha, oh well!!!  Just a minor blemish in a masterpiece!!!!!!
