I Am
I am a playground with no people on me,
I wonder who loves me,
I hear gold stars calling out to me,
I see one thousand people turning away from me,
I want to be filled with laughter and joy,
I am a playground with no people on me,
I pretend I’m happy but I’m not,
I feel like a tadpole surrounded by sharks,
I reach for love but it never comes to me,
I worry about everything I created will be destroyed in front of me,
I cry inside about my only friend because he never liked me,
I understand that no one likes me,
I say I can do it but I can’t,
I dream about friends but I know I don’t,
I try to believe in myself but I can’t,
I hope I’m a hero,
