Hi Vagi, of course!

So the prompts are on the post and you are meant to copy and paste it, and then replace all of the brackets that say noun, adjective, etc with words that fit in their place.

For example:

My name is Emma

Today I feel like a white bird flying through the sky

Sometimes I am a weight

Sometimes I am an ant

But always I am brave 

I ask the world, “how did I get here?”

And the answer is, a white bird flying through the sky


I hope this helped!

My name is Josephine.

Today I feel like a cautious fox treading through the forest.

Sometimes I am a leaf.

But always I am gentle.

I ask the world, "what am I to do?"

And the answer is a cautious fox treading through the forest.

My name is T.

Today I feel like a delirious alien on the verge of discovering something cool.

Sometimes I am a jokester.

Sometimes I am a caretaker.

Always I am who I always have been.

I ask the world, why is your lack of imagination going to be the end of you?

The answer is a delirious alien on the verge of discovering something cool.
