I Am

I am mysterious and fearful
I wonder what people think about me
I hear The chattering of people
I see the dark skies
I want the sun to come out
I am mysterious and fearful

I pretend to enjoy company of others
I feel raindrops on my face
I touch my wet hair
I worry about why I may be here
I cry when I realise we are allowed to be sad
I am mysterious and fearful

I understand we all have flaws
I say tony Abbot is a horrible Prime Minister
I dream of freedom
I try to understand others
I hope to have a future
I am mysterious and fearful
