Jazmin
by definition is a light to moderate yellow color or a flower.
Yellow a generally happy color.
it makes sense i mean i am a generally happy person,
or at least that's how it seems.
If you really listened to what i have to say
you would see the gloomy, dejected, hopeless world i see.

when you help some one you may see a life you’ve made a difference in
when  i help some one i see millions like them in the same position
who's to help them?
who's is to lend out a hand?
who is to help that child in the corner who's starving to death?
i want it to be me, but what can i do
I'm just a kid

yet at times being a child is  a good thing
i smile. i run. i play.
i have friends, i have people who care for me
i have people who make me smile
i work hard and get good grades.
i try hard to be the best at everything

still I'm not happy, but you would never know that
i wear this fake smile
i wear it because i know one smile can change someones entire day
one smile can give someone hope
one simple smile may mean nothing to you
but it can mean the world to someone like me

id be happy if only
I Jazmin Huey can change millions of lives
id love to leave my mark on the world
to have someone look up to me and actually say
i want to be just like you
that would make me happy
