I Am Taliyah Paine

I am intelligent and athletic.
I wonder what my future is going to be.
I hear bubbles popping.
I see my grandad up in heaven.
I want to have a husband that respects me.
I am intelligent and athletic.
I pretend not to be sad.
I touch stuff in my dreams.
I worry about dying.
I cry when I lose family members.
I am intelligent and athletic.
I understand that everyone makes mistakes.
I say dreams come true if you believe.
I dream of always being athletic.
I try my best at everything.
I am intelligent and athletic.
