I'm just a child
That's who I am
I make mistakes,
I'm like the lamb.

Roar so loud,
But really I'm frightened
Of the world around.

I am someone
Whom I do not know,
I struggle to find
The direction to go.

I am a leaf
Insignificant and small
And when it rains,
I tear and fall.

I am the sun
That never shines
I am the clouds,
That fade with time.

I am the one
Whom I seek,

I cannot find

Me.
