I Am a Penguin

I am a penguin.

I wonder why the world is so big.

I hear squeaks of other penguins and splashes of fish.

I see footprints in the snow.

I want to explore, but I am much too small for a big world.

I am a penguin as little as can be.

I pretend I’m a giant and people are afraid of me,

but the truth is I’m afraid of them.

I feel the cold breeze knocking the air out of me.

I  understand nothing.

I say a bunch of words, but all they here is squawk.

I dream to be an actress and be the  star of the show.
