Does anyone know the author and name of this poem? (who is c. c.m):

you say you want to die,
but you are unsure of,
what comes after death.
does the pain leave,
or does it stay?
the most clever thing about life is,
that as long as we are alive,
we'll never know. -c. c.m

it makes them feel like hes not confident

hope it !

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".
