by Daisy Lopez
I am Daisy Lopez
I am 16 years old
I am the youngest out of four
I am the craziest
I am strong
I am forgiving
I am trustworthy
I am the one with the fake smile
I am the one who pretends that everything is fine but really it isn’t
I haven’t lived a crazy life, but I have lived in a pretty messed up one.
I am open minded and loud
I wonder what people think of me
I hear nonsense here and there
I see different sides of others
I want people to understand what my life consists of
I am open minded and loud.
I pretend that I’m the happiest, most joyful young lady
I feel like a bird that can’t seem to fly
But lifts its wings and keeps trying to show others that not being able to fly
Doesn’t mean they are nothing in life.
I worry about violence
I cry for the world
I am open minded and loud
I can’t quite understand this world
I say there should be peace and love
I dream of looking up to the stars and finding a miracle
I try to do my best
I hope that one day people will understand where I come from
I am open minded and loud.
