I Poem by Kristy Carter

I Am
I am quiet and thoughtful.

I wonder what people really think.

I hear my inner critic.

I see the world rushing by.

I want things to slow down.

I am quiet and thoughtful.

I pretend that I am fearless.

I feel like I hold back too much.

I touch my face in the mirror.

I worry that time is getting away from me.

I cry for people who look but don't see.

I am quiet and thoughtful.

I understand that tomorrow is never promised.

I say live each day like it's your last.

I dream of peace and tranquility.

I try to be a good listener.

I hope to make a difference.

I am quiet and thoughtful.
