Oklahoma’s Kids Belong - Christian

My name is Christian, and I am 16 years old. I'm very good at baseball, apparently the slide in, I can do that perfectly. I love planting and watching things grow up. I've seen, sometimes out here, I watch ... I've seen a few coyotes with pups and stuff. It's fun watching them play around and stuff with their siblings. I wanted to build anything, really. I've built a chicken coop out of a swing set once. I love animals and plants. Whenever I have something to take care of, it makes me feel older and more mature. When I'm on a horse, I feel like I'm free and I can fly. Sometimes I feel like I can fly and go anywhere I would want. Family is actually precious. You can't ever outrun a family. You're always gonna have someone. You can't ... if you have a brother, you can't just tell him that he's not your brother anymore. You can never stop that. I think about somewhere I can finally live and feel safe. I always try to think of today and let the future take care of itself. I like Johnny Cash. Whenever I sing, I sound like Johnny Cash.

I fell in to a burning ring of fire. I went down, down, down, and the flames went higher, and it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire. The ring of fire. I'm an old soul.
