Respectful Yet Cold

“I am” 

I am respectful, yet cold

I wonder about life after death

I hear soothing ocean waves

I see beautiful sunsets and yellow flowers 

I want love and happiness 

I am respectful, yet cold 

I pretend to be sitting in sunflowers 

I feel loads of anxiety 

I touch soft pillows and blankets

I worry when people give me sympathy 

I cry when I feel trapped 

I am respectful, yet cold

I understand that there is life other than us

I say that I’m loved 

I dream of being a photographer 

I try to make someone happy 

I hope to go to CCA, the California College of Arts 

I am respectful,  yet cold
