Stories

By Lindsey Cotman

Pass Christian MS

 

I am a princess of pirates

I am the keeper of the stone

I am a noble lady

I am a kid without a home

 

I can see the future

I can, and I will fly

I can race with light

I can, and will touch the sky

 

I am a master of the sword

I am a mermaid in the sea

I am a friend of dragons

I am the holder of the key

 

I have been a bird

But I have also been a rat

I have touched the moon

I have been and done all that

 

I can live in a castle

I can live in the street

I can walk around the world

Without a pain in my feet

 

I am good, I am evil

I am naughty, I am nice

I am light, I am dark

I am sugar, I am spice

 

You may say I am just a girl

And I would have to agree

Though I can do so many things

I am nothing great to see

 

I am merely a writer

I can only dream

I have imagined all these tales

Or, am I not what I seem?

 

I may only be a child

But my stories, they can feel

The adventure is not fake

It is my life, that is unreal
