I AM...
By BJ Gaither, 13 years old


I am unique and curious.
I wonder about what's going to happen when I die.
I hear everything.
I see the future.
I want to explore.
I am unique and curious.
I pretend to be a drummer.
I feel sad.
I touch peoples lives.
I worry about my family everyday.
I cry when my cousin's Tourettes gets worse every day.
I am unique and curious.
I understand when somebody makes fun of you and you get mad.
I say things to make you feel better.
I dream about weird things.
I try new things.
I hope my disease goes away.
I am unique and curious.
