Sadako: I Poem

I am creative and loud
I wonder if I will die?
I hear the wind rustling the paper cranes
I see the paper cranes flying
I want to live a decent life
I am creative and loud
I pretend I am still alive
I feel my spirit rise to heaven
I touch good luck as it travels across the wind
I worry I might close my eyes forever
I cry for Kenji who is looking upon us in the stars.
I am creative and loud
I understand that I might not live
I say I can fold 1000 paper cranes
I dream that I live an eternal life
I try to believe in myself
I hope I won't die ever
I am creative and loud.
