I Am Jasmine

I am funny and confident
I wonder about war
I hear my dog’s bark
I see my dog in the clouds
I want violence to stop.

I pretend I’m a nurse
I feel an angel's kiss
I worry about people who lie about me
I cry for the bad things that happen
I am funny and confident.

I understand no one’s perfect
I say I’m lucky compared to others
I try to be the best person I can
I hope I’m happy when I’m older
I am funny and confident.
