I Am

I am a tall girl who loves reading
I do my best
I think which will be better; left or right?
I live in a world that is slightly wacky
I believe that we should never give up and fight for what we want
I want to change
I can ask questions every day and never get tired of hearing the answers
I understand that I can’t help all people
I know that rubber bands last longer when refrigerated
I dream weird and wonderful things
I wish that I could fly
I want everyone to be happy
I see the world at peace someday
I smell my granny’s meatballs sizzling away in the pan
I touch puppies’ wet noses.
I hear book pages turning
I am a tall girl who loves reading
