Never am I going to let anything hurt nature and wildlife.
When I think about it, I know I am going to make a difference.
I believe in myself.
I understand that I might not be the greatest
But I can still do my best
Everyone thinks, ‘I’m not good enough”
But I want to change that too.
Ahead of me there is a part of the forest that is dying
I have to save it.
This feels like dread
but is replaced with determination and anger
I CAN DO THIS!
I will make a difference in this world!
