I am sensitive and quiet

I wonder if I'll ever have confidence

I hear a child's scream

I see a doorway to heaven

I want to be empty

I am sensitive and quiet

I pretend I am confident

I feel the hurt of children just like me

I touch the doorway that leads to a better future for myself.

I worry about my ability

I stand up for myself

I cry when I am teased or bullied

I am sensitive and quiet

I understand the hardships of life

I say I can do anything I put my mind to

I dream of a better version of myself

I try to make my parents proud

I hope that one day I become the version of myself that actually makes me proud

I am sensitive and quiet
