Metaphor Poem Final

I'm more than what meets the eye,
I'm not simple, more complex

I can look intimidating but gentle

I can be shy and out of place
With my eighty-eight keys and black sleek case

I am a piano

I start off softly and slowly

I'm intelligent

playing the right keys and at the right time
Playing louder and louder

More playful and fun
I'm confident,
Wanting to play more and more

I'm lazy
Making me make mistakes

With wrong key or wrong timing

I'm stubborn

Not wanting to play

But, I'm dependable
I'm there for people when no one else is,
I'm there to relieve stress from a hard day,
Used to create a song for a good day,
I am a piano,
Always here.
