I am The Poem

May 21, 2012
By Anonymous

I am pretentious and cautious
I wonder what i will be and where i will go.
I hear leaves everywhere.
I see purple flowers.
I want to set this foliage ablaze.
I am pretentious and cautious

I pretend to be thoughtful.
I feel the wind of the still air.
I touch the freezing fire.
I worry about the 5-0.
I cry when their is no leaves left.
I am pretentious and cautious.

I understand the world.
I say Go tigers.
I dream about leaves.
I do not try hard at all.
I hope one day i will try.
I am pretentious and cautious
