I Am

I Am

I am curious and understanding
I wonder if me and my cousin, Sheri will ever be as close as we used to be
I hear my dad saying that he's given up drinking
I want my family to be whole again
I am curious and understanding

I pretend I'm always happy, when actually, I'm broken inside
I feel like my dad doesn't care
I touch my cousin's, Crissy's new baby boy's face
I worry that I will never truely forgive Sheri
I cry at the thought of how we grew apart
I am curious and understanding

I understand that things can't stay the same
I say God will help me
I dream that my dad will stop drinking
I try to make things right with Sheri
I hope my family will be whole again
I am curios and understanding
