I Am

I am audacious and protective

I wonder if I'm dangerous

I hear friends call my name

I see worn books in which are ancient spells

I want a place where I belong

I am audacious and protective

I pretend that nothing is wrong

I feel content with my control

I touch the soft folds of my cloak

I worry about my grandmother

I cry about my parents

I am audacious and protective

I understand that there is darkness inside me

I say that you can change your future

I dream of seeing Mom and Dad again

I try to control my temper

I hope that I don't fail them

I am audacious and protective
