I am

I am

I am a kind and creative girl who likes to help others.

I wonder why I am what I am, and why I was born the way I was.

I hear the ocean roaring like a lion far away.

I see faces of ancestors in the clouds, and I wonder how it’d be like to be one of them.

I want to travel around the world and see new places I have never seen before.

I am a kind and creative girl who likes to help others.

I pretend I am an author, searching my mind for new ideas.

I feel the sun hugging me as I realize how good it feels to be alive.

I touch the soul of an unhappy polar bear.

I worry that all the animals and people on earth will be extinct.

I cry when another person is crying too.

I am a kind and creative girl who likes to help others.

I understand that I’m not perfect and can never be.

I say that everyone should have a chance to speak.

I dream every day of my life to be a heroine and do something I can be proud of.

I try to be optimistic and always look on the bright side.

I hope I will always have a life I can live for.

I am a kind and creative girl who likes to help others.
