Read the poem and analyse how the author expresses herself.

The Wonder of Me
by Bernadette Borja Rosaroso

Look at me in the eyes,

Tell me who am I.
Think of me just like you are,
As I take you as mine.
Gaze into my innermost world,
You’ll learn who I am.
Interact with me,
And acquire a little of myself.
Feel my soul
And together we’ll discover each other’s world.
