I am

by JL   Apr 18, 2006


I am a girl
No more, no less
Though I try hard
I'm always second best

I am a daughter
Bruised and abused
I still forgive them
To love them I choose

I am a friend
Always there to comfort
With smiles and encouragement
Pulling them from the dirt

I was a sister
But now I'm alone
I still love her
And visit her bones

I am a student
I love to learn
School's never enough
Knowledge I yearn

I am never the girl
Always the friend
I'll always be there
Up til the end

I am a runner
Its my addiction
I love the wind
I love to win

I am a girl
A face in the street
I am a soldier
I am someone you've yet to meet

I am what I am
Take or leave it
If you want to change me
Just go on and get

*Bob made a contest asking who you are, i thought it was a great idea*
