What Am I?
Step... Step... Step...
Look now! What Have We Here?
By God, it's a Turtle! Taking her First Steps!
Shyly, Hesitantly, and on Wobbly Legs
Could You Ever Believe She Could Step Out of Her Shell
At Long Last?
"H... H... Hi..."
Look now! What Have We Here?
By God, it's that Turtle, Speaking her First Words
Stuttering, Quietly, and with Shaky Voice
Could You Ever Believe She Could Poke Out of Her Shell
And Speak Out?
"La... La... La..."
Look now! What Have We Here?
By God, it's that Turtle, Singing her First Notes
Bravely, Gently, and with Careful Notes
Could You Ever Believe She Could Stand By Her Own Will
And Sing Wonders?
"Leave Me Alone..."
Look now, What Have We Here?
By God, it's that Turtle, Tortured by Nightmares
Trembling, Crying, Scared of her Laptop
Could You Ever Believe She Would Befriend Pure Strangers
And Stay Lonely
"I... Found You..."
Look now! What Have We Here?
By God, it's that Turtle, Making a New Friend
Awkward, Friendly, and Cute Scruffy Hair
Could You Ever Believe He Would Become Her First Love
And Save Her?
"I'm Not Afraid"
Look Now! What Have We Here?
By God, it's that Turtle, Standing Here Today
Broken, Scarring, but Battle is Won
Could You Ever Believe She Could Face Depression's Curse
And Choose Life?
