What inspires

You? The judge inquires.

What inspires me

Is to be free.

Having fun

With friends under the sun.

Screaming into the night,

Searching for the answer in sunlight.

Smiling even when I’m in pain

So my mom doesn’t complain.

To squeal with joy

When I talk to a boy.

The freedom to stay a kid

To forbid

To grow up 

And cover up

My dream to always be 

Free.
