I Am

I Am…
I am a music loving bookworm
I wonder if things we believe are fantasy are real
I hear angry beats pounding in my ears
I see a book in my hands
I am a music loving bookworm

I pretend to be far away
I feel too smothered by people
I touch paper, flipping through pages
I worry about my family and friends
I cry when I feel too overwhelmed
I am a music loving bookworm

I understand why people hurt themselves
I say “It’s okay, I’ll help you.”
I dream of doing something meaningful
I try to do my best
I hope I’ll do better
I am a music loving bookworm
