3:38 a.m.
At three in the morning,
I think about
Who
I
Am.
From a far distance,
You would automatically
Assume,
I'm a girl.
A girl with brown hair,
A girl with oversized breasts,
Yet, a mediocre ass.
A girl who should probably lay off
The chocolate cake.
A girl who spends a little too
Much time on
Tumblr,
Rather than in reality.
But,
When you take a couple
Steps closer,
From a
short
distance,
I become a different person.
I become a girl who's father was deported.
I become a girl without a home.
I become a girl living in a motel.
I become a girl without transportation.
I become a girl who's mom
Is too busy fooling around
With her boss,
Than to pay attention to her own
Children.
I become the girl who ditches school.
I become the girl who went from straight "A's,"
To straight "F's."
I become the girl who's lazy.
I become the girl who's selfish.
I become the girl who carves my skin with a razor blade because for some reason I think it eases the pain in my heart.
I become the girl with
Depression.
I become the girl with
Anxiety.
I become the girl with
Panic attacks.
I become the girl with
ADHD.
I become the girl with
ODD.
I become the girl who's mother won't allow medicine or therapy because she "doesn't believe in depression."
I become the girl who was put in a mental hospital for trying to escape this never-ending nightmare i'm forced to call life.
I become the girl who's a coward.
I become the girl who's pathetic.
I become the girl who's seeking attention.
I become the girl who's too
Soft.
I become the girl who everyone worries about drowning,
But leaves me in the pool when
I
Don't
Know how
To swim.
I become the girl who shouldn't be depressed about her own problems because someone
Else has it
So
Much
Worse.
I become the girl who is left alone with my thoughts
Because
My depression
hindered
him.
I become the girl who
drinks to forget what his name is.
I become the girl who confuses
Lust
for love.
I become the girl who went from prude,
To Fucking
on the first date.
I become the girl who you wake up next to in morning, with an empty bottle of
Vodka
On your nightstand,
And not being able
To remember my name.
I become the girl who doesn't understand why
Happiness
Doesn't
Exist.
I become the girl
Laying in bed,
At 3:38 in the morning,
Trying to figure out
Who
I
Am.
