I run
Through a forest
Filled with beautiful
flowers
But when night comes
The deadly creatures hunt
I run
Running
The world is a jungle
Wandering
I wander
Through school halls
Filled with interesting people
But when gossip arrives
The sharp words hurt
I wander
I chase
After the prettiest views
The best pictures
But there is always a better
one
A cooler animal, a more
interesting mountain
I chase
Chasing
This planet is so
competitive
Trying
I try
After the prettiest body
The best things
But there is always
something – someone – better
A newer phone, a cuter
hairstyle
I try
I do
Attempt to be perfect
But that’s so hard and
frustrating
Who the world wants me to be
Is a fake person
I do
Doing
Forget the world, chase you
Being
I am
Not going to give in
I will be my own person
Act the way I feel
Do what I want to
Not restricted by society
I am
