I Am


I am determined.

I always want  what is best for my sisters.

I believe I am here for a reason.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I cry when my emotions build up and spill out from inside me.

I fear for the young and humanity.




I hear people telling me how to live my life and who to be.

I hope to be the somebody I'm called to be.

I pretend things don’t bother me.

I claim to be strong, when inside I’m falling apart.

I worry I won't ever be good enough

I am not perfect.




I dream life could be perfect.

I trust the lord with all of my heart, soul, and body.

I say, “If you have faith, love, and hope anything is possible.”

I see the innocence in my baby brother’s eyes.

I try to put others before myself.

I understand life is not easy, and you have to work hard for what you want.

I am strong and faithful.




I want to make a difference in someone’s life.

I will never give up.

I wish to be forever happy and carefree.
I wonder how I look through the eyes of others.

I question what my future holds.

I am the writer of my own story.
