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.
