I am a person.

I wonder about everything.
I hear the language of my culture.

I want to travel every crack of my world.
I am an adventurer.
I pretend that my backyard is a whole different place.

I feel good.
I touch the lives of beings around me.
I worry about the future.

I cry alone.
I am me.
I understand nothing about the people who surround me.

I say what I think and have no regrets.
I dream about things out of my reach.
I try to be the person I want to be.

I hope everyday.
I am whatever I want to be.
