I Am Poem

I am outgoing like a train leaving its station, zipping through the wind.
I wonder what it would be like if the Earth was heathy and global warming wasn’t a thing.
I hear the laughter of my peers and the birds chirping in the soft, cooling wind.
I see my cheerleading team hitting zero (no deductions) at a competition.
I want a clean home (earth) for me to live on.
I am an observer of mother nature.
I pretend that I'm brave for everything.
I feel protected by my friends and family.
I touch my soft, fluffy dog and cats.
I worry that one day a fire could come close to my house and burn it down.
I cry when any of my pets or family pass away because they mean a lot to me.
I am very afraid of clowns and people breaking into my house.
I understand that if I don’t succeed in something, that I shouldn’t let it bring me down.
I say that if the world doesn’t become healthy in maybe about 20-40 years it will be a nightmare.
I dream that one day I could become a professional cheerleader and go to worlds.
I try to be the best person I can be and I try to not make any fuss.
I hope that one day the world could be healthier and a better place.
I am happy when I go to the beach and go surfing with my friends and family.
