I Am

I am a creative boy who loves exploring.
I wonder what kind of things I would see in the wild.
I hear the realistic noises of nature in the distance.
I want to explore the wild without getting in actual danger.
I am a creative boy who loves exploring.

I pretend that I am in life threatening situations.
I feel very excited at the thought of danger.
I touch my sword and shield.
I worry I might not succeed.
I cry when I have failed a task I wanted to do.
I am a creative boy who loves exploring.

I understand that things won't work out how I want to.
I say that we should have books.
I dream some nightmares sometimes.
I hope life will work out for me.
I am a creative boy who loves exploring.
