John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that whosoever loves him shall not persih but have eternal life.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Love as if you were to live forever.

If I could I would live in Australia
If I could I would never hurt anyone
If I could I wouldn’t be jealous
If I could I would always be kind

What I do is live in Washington
What I do is sometimes hurt people
What I do is get jealous at stupid things
What I do is sometimes mean

If I could, I’d never lie
If I could, I’d always help
If I could, I’d never be afraid
If I could, I’d be ready

I can always be honest but I’m not
I can always help but I don’t
I can not be scared but I am
I can be ready, but I’m still waiting.

I wrote this piece in creative writing and I feel that it reflects who I am but also gives whoever reads it a curiousity of what I'm about.
