I am me
A simple being with a simple life.
I’ve lived in the same place
All sixteen years of my life,
Never wanting to leave
But often wondering
What else this world holds.
The world is big, but I’m so small.
I am too small to worry
About the big ole worlds problems.
So why do I worry?
It doesn’t pertain to me.
I am me,
Short blond and shy.
Too shy to take many more steps
Out this back door,
But in one short year
I will have to go out the door,
Into the world to fend for myself,
As my life begins.
How scared I am to go
Into this big ole world,
But whether I take the steps
Or I’m pushed on my face,
I have to go, no matter what.
