Guess Who I Am - written by Oriana Olariu, clasa a X-a UA (Creative Writing Workshop)

Some tables in our school library. We meet and we write texts starting from an idea. It could be a word, an opening sentence, a picture, a sound. We write, fast or slow, and stop with the clock after 20 minutes, keeping pens on the page. At the end of the 20 minutes, the energy has shifted. The bad mood of the day is gone. The results are surprising. Anything can happen during the writing time. Healing, love, odd characters, strange names... writing is healing, for sure! We started from the words "Guess who I am" and we created some texts. This is Oriana's text:

 Guess who I am" - written by Oriana Olariu


Guess who I am

Peek-a-boo!

Did I scare ya?

Not here! Not there!

Keep looking, silly boy

Under the bed, in the closet...

Where could I be?


Do you even have a clue about what's going on?

Can you tell me who am I, and who is me?

I'm you, I'm me

I'm everything you want me to be 


Am I real? 

Can you tell?

Don't fret. I'm here

Always will be

Deep inside you, in your mind 


Run little boy, run...

But can you run from yourself?

Let's play a game...

Can you find the answer?


This is the answer

To the question

This is the sound of the truth

You are I, and I am you


Ding, dong

Here I come to find you

Where could have you run to, hide to?

Our game of hide and seek has just begun

Run little boy, run.
