“I Am” by Le’Andrew Vaughn, written in 2013
I am Le’Andrew, A young boy whose dreams are big. I wonder if my life will be the way I want it to be. I hear my life loud and clear. I see my life and it is near. I want to live a happy life without fear. I am Le’Andrew, A young boy whose dreams are big. I pretend to be someone I’m not to be sure I fit in. I feel the future will be something I can win. I touch my life and pray It will be great. I worry my future will go at a slow rate. I cry because I don’t know how my life will end. I am Le’Andrew, A young boy whose dreams are big. I say you can be what you want to be. I dream the world can be at peace. I hope that one day everyone can be treated as equal. I am Le’Andrew, A young boy whose dreams are big.
