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,
