I am tall and my own person

I wonder how people can think of nothing 

I hear the mouse in my room 

I see my cat sleeping at the foot of my bed 

I want to have no regrets at the end of my life 

I pretended I don’t want to smile but I do 

I feel like all that people that I love will be there for a long time 

I touch my soccer ball with my cleats 

I worry that my jewelry will rust in the shower 

I cry at the fact that my cat will someday be gone 

I am tall and I am my own person 

I understand that no one will stay forever 

I say that karma is real 

I dream that when I’m older I won’t be alone 

I try to show people that I always care 

I hope I will live my life to the fullest 

I am tall and I am my own person
