I am human
They are good at making me laugh
But sometimes I joke at the wrong times
And I get embarrassed if people see me laughing
And sometimes I laugh at the amusing things

Tomorrow,
I’ll still giggle at random things
Nobody can tell me to stop laughing for no reason
Then, I'll be myself and not be who people want me to be
Besides, 
They’ll see my personality
And feel good about myself when I'm being me

I, too, am America.
