I Am

I am a passionate girl loving summer haze, I wonder how I’ll be in my future days...
I hear the birds sing when morning comes, I see the golden rays of the burning sun.
I want to lay down, in grass, in laze, I am a passionate girl loving summer haze.
I pretend that I am a person on TV, I feel like I’m loved, that I am free...
I touch the soft silkiness of my cat’s fur, I worry the world will pass in a blur.
I cry when I feel lost in a maze, I am a passionate girl loving summer haze.
I understand I will not live forever, I say I will not back down, never.
I dream of the day when the world will have peace, I try to be my best and not my least.
I hope that I will be me, forever, always, I’m just a passionate girl loving summer haze.
