I Am Jade

I am Jade the girl that’s scared of everything
I wonder about history and the past
I hear a bird tweeting at the back of my head
I see myself completing my goals
I want my life to be as easy as sleeping
I am Jade the girl that’s scared of everything
I pretend I am a movie star walking down the red carpet
I feel like nothing goes right
I worry what people think of me
I cry when something bad happens
I am Jade the girl that’s scared of everything
I understand that everyone is different
I ask myself if I am a unique person
I dream that I have everything
I try to make people content
I hope my family will always love each other
I am Jade the girl that’s scared of everything
