I Am

I am smart and mysterious
I wonder if I would ever do great things in life
I hear creatures sneaking up on me
I see danger in plain white sight
I want success in life
I am smart and mysterious

I pretend I'm a vampire seeking blood
I feel fright and sadness running through my body tonight
I worry if I'll ever go home
I am smart and mysterious

I understand that things don’t always go as planned
I say thank you Allah for keeping me above the light
I dream for happiness and hope
I try doing what is right
I hope I end up in heaven when my time is right
I am smart and mysterious
