I am outgoing and trustworthy.I wonder if ghosts are fiction.I hear the clock ticking as life goes on.I see my life flickering before my eyes.I want to play soccer all my life. I am outgoing and trustworthy.

I pretend I am good at singing.I feel my heart hammering.I touch my future.I worry about the world coming to an end.I cry about being alone.I am outgoing and trustworthy.

I understand I am getting older.I say never give up.I dream about having an extreme future. I try to inspire others.I hope to live forever.I am outgoing and trustworthy.
