I Am Poem

I am quiet but loud
I wonder how others feel
I hear blistering storms
I see bright colours
I want a good chance
I am quiet but loud

I pretend it’s okay
I touch but I can’t feel
I worry about my grandmother
I cry over cancer
I am quiet but loud

I understand how she feels
I say I am religious
I try to do well
I hope I make it
I am quiet but loud
