Facts About Us Poem by Janara Matugas

We, people, want life to be easy
As if we're just playing a game
For problems make us feel dizzy
Like we are going to be insane

We want money to come smoothly
As if it's just a peace of paper
That's why some people break our policy
They steal from anyone, anywhere

We want to catch others' eyes
We want to shine and stand tall
Without knowing what's next to it all
The higher you rise, the harder you fall

We always give up easily
While dreaming interminably
But if we work tirelessly
Our dream will come true, surely

These are just some facts about us
We can choose to live freely
We can choose to be honest
If we live our lives peacefully
We can live without stress
