Analysis of I'm just a little
Melanie Alvarez 2003 (Habana)
I'm a little intense
While I just live.
My way of love is kind, like a breath
Maybe like small rain
I'm just a little lost
When I try to write these simple verses and just put them out of my mind
I'm just a little free,
But not like a butterfly
She can fly anywhere
And my broken wings only die
The bird being a bird
flew away of my eyes,
but I don't even know how to fly
I'm just a little thing
Trying to guess how many worlds I will live.
