I am...

I am why people like spring

I wonder why people like spring.
I hear grass that opens out of the soil.
I see beautiful flowers.
I want to go to the picnic.
I am why people like spring.

I pretend to smell flowers that have a good scent.
I feel a moving butterfly.
I touch the clouds.
I worry about animals hurting me.
I cry because people hurt me.
I am why people like spring.

I understand that the season is changing.
I say I believe in the birds.
I dream of living in nature together.
I try to be a flower.
I hope to fly in the sky.
I am why people like spring.
~Kang Ah Ram

I am why the world exists.

I wonder why the world exists.
I hear the sound made by raindrops.
I see the stars shining with the sun.
I am why the world exists.

I pretend to be a good student.
I feel smiles form my friends.
I touch the ocean full of flowers.
I worry that maybe I am the one who actually bothers my family.
I cry remembering my past.
I am why the world exists.

I understand that 1 + 1 = 2.
I say life is just a dream that is never ending.
I dream of places where I can rest without anger.
I try to make myself better than last year.
I hope that some day I will do something for other people.
I am why the world exists.
