I Am… Different & Carefree


I am…Different and carefree.

I wonder…What people think of me.

I hear…Wind blowing through the trees.

I see…A place far away from here.

I want…To do what everyone said I couldn’t.

I am…Different and carefree.

 

I pretend…That I don’t care.

I feel…Water trickling threw my fingers.

I touch…Everything not there.

I worry... I’m making all the wrong choices.

I cry…Over things of the past.

I am…Different and carefree.

 

I understand…The phrase life isn’t fair.

I say…Yourself is what determines your happiness.

I dream…Of succeeding in what I love to do.

I try…making others life’s happier.

I hope…I create a great family.

I am…Different and carefree.
