Lennie's "I Am" Poem
I am strong and confused.
I wonder why people want to kill me.
I hear George's voice in my head.
I see Curley's wife, lifeless in the hay.
I am strong and confused.
I pretend to understand what my capabilities are.
I feel extremely worried.
I touch a mouse in my pocket because it calms me.
I worry about the rabbits so much that I killed Curley's wife.
I cry over what George will say.
I am strong and confused.
I understand the seriousness of what i have just done.
I say to be confident.
I dream about tending the rabbits on my own ranch with George and Candy.
I try to control my actions but I cannot.
I hope to not get in trouble.
I am strong and confused.
