I am...

I am empowered

charged to be the change 

determined to create a peaceful future

I am frustrated 

upset at the violence 

disheartened about the never ending death

I am sad

disappointed at the overwhelming apathy

unsure about how to fix it

I am excited

ecstatic to be in a community of believers

overjoyed at the opportunities to travel and implement the seeds of change

I am worried

scared about my own future

frightened that I will be wrapped up in the violence, forgotten, discarded

I am optimistic

hopeful for a bright future

glad to be alive

I am young

finding my voice

searching for the answers

But most of all...

I am me

confident in my abilities to enhance and add value to the world

grateful to have a life where I feel empowered, frustrated, sad, excited, worried, optimistic, young
