I Am

written for Lori Carlson's contest

I am thoughtful and conscientious  

I wonder why people can't be kind

I hear fireflies humming

I want for each day to be a gift

I am thoughtful and conscientious 

I pretend that my life is perfect

I feel everyone sees through me

I touch the stars in hopes of salvation

I worry it'll never happen

I cry for the loss of many

I am thoughtful and conscientious

I understand everyone does not have the same beliefs

I say that love will save the day

I dream for the day all men are equal

I try to act accordingly

I hope this day is possible

I am thoughtful and conscientious

I wonder why people can't be kind... I wonder this too.

Some great insights here - very nice, R&B!

That's perplexing to my mind, it's really very simple. Thanks Rita!

This is a wonderful take on the "I Am" poem, r&b.. this says so much about you. It shows your sensitivity so very well.
