I Am
I Am
By: Jonna Houck
I am a soldier I stand alone
no place in the world is better than home.
I wonder about life and how it ends
I hear the joy of children playing with friends.
I see a world that’s almost good
I want life to be perfect if it could.
I am a soldier I stand alone.
I pretend to be no one I am who I am
I feel I can’t be a boy, I am a man.
I touch people hearts so they could feel
I worry about people dying each day of the year.
I cry for mother’s who loss their child
sometimes it’s hard to make a smile.
I am a soldier I stand alone.
I understand this world but not the actions
I say I dream for peace tribulation.
I try to make people understand what I say
I hope for peace and better days.
I am a soldier I stand alone.
I am not perfect but I try to do right
that why I sit quietly out of your sight.
In my life, I’ve made mistakes but I also learned
that life is like a maze with twist & turns.
One day you're on top of the world without a problem at all
until one unexpected phone call, makes everything fall.
So yes life’s a ***** from what I have seen
that’s why I choose to be no one … no one but me.
I am a soldier I stand alone.
