I Am

I Am

I am Caring and Independent  

I wonder why people think there is a secret to happiness 

I hear that time will always move forward

I am on a journey towards traveling the world 

I want to impact others 

I am Caring and Independent

I pretend to be a famous Actress and Singer

I feel scared of disappointing everyone

I touch the clouds and stars to feel peace

I worry that true love might be gone

I cry when I see people struggle

I am Caring and Independent

I understand that I don’t let people close 

I say that the world needs more kindness

I dream about freedom, adventuring with no limit 

I try to understand why skin color matters

I hope I grow to be someone my family can be proud of

I am Caring and Independent
