I'M Just A Girl Poem by miski abshir

I am learning life
Step by step
I wanna be someone
I am learning how
Soaking up all that you teach me
so keep it coming
Tell me what I need to do
To become even better than you
I wanna be someone that people
aspire to be
Can you see me as someone like that
you stare at me
looking like you don't understand
Am I really a nobody
Do I really have no chance
I am just a girl
A not-so-ordinary girl
I wake up in the morning
Throw my pillow at the sun
Trying to shut it up
I take inventory of the day
I tell myself what I will do and say
Hopefully my life will not be wasted
Hopefully I will do something great
I want a story of my own
Something that someone reads
and says that this was an adventure
I wanna be someone
but maybe I am no one
can you really ever tell
of the future
just by looking into their eyes
the people around me say
that I should enjoy the day
I don't need to learn anything
I have what I am given
who needs anything more
But I will try
I will fail
again and again
but maybe somewhere, sometime, somehow
I will succeed
