Lily Black - I Am

I am a profound girl who is very curious
I wonder if this terrible war in Iraq will ever be over
I hear a deafening silence
I see a glistening, Cambridge blue lake on a clear summer's day
I want to have success
I am a profound girl who is very curious
I pretend I am in a movie where I am the damsel in distress
I feel the air lifting me up, letting me fly over the Pacific Ocean
I touch a smooth, gray stone from the bottom of Lake Erie
I worry that I will not be able to go to college
I cry when people yell
I am a profound girl who is very curious
I understand that I can't be perfect at everything
I say Make Art, not war
I dream of inspiring people one day
I try to be social when I'm in anew and uncomfortable environment
I hope that there will be world peace one day
I am a profound girl who is very curious
