I Am

By Lena Quezada

I am curious and I am skeptical

I wonder if people see the same as me

I hear different words

I see different colors

I want to experience things the same as you

I am curious and I am skeptical

I pretend to be what is accepted

I feel tired of wondering

I touch just above the surface

I worry I may never understand

I cry for answers

I am curious and I am skeptical

I understand that I will never be the same as you

I say that I will never stop wondering

I dream of other possibilities

I try to live in the moment

I hope for my eyes to be opened

I am curious and I am skeptical.
