Sometimes when I am alone,
I sit peacefully and think of my problems.
I ask myself questions and still find no answers,
I wonder about my life and ask God to always provide.

Sometimes when I am alone,
I look at myself in the mirror and ask myself
What will I be in the future?

Sometimes when I am alone,
I pinch myself and laugh out loud then,
thank God for his goodness and warmth.

Sometimes when I am alone,
I revise verses,
then give myself kisses as a reward.

Sometimes when I am alone,
I get all the chances to praise and encourage myself.
