I am...


Who am I?

I am a college student sinking more and more in to debt because of the careless mistakes our "leaders" made.

I am sitting here trying to figure out how I will buy milk while they're wipping their asses with money. 

I am stressed from constantly being asked, "what are you going to do with your life?" by adults who still don't know what they're doing with theirs.

I am broken by all of the hell and loss I've gone through for the past eighteen years. 

I am listening to people tell me, "oh daddy is paying for my tuition," when I don't know where my "daddy" is. 

I am comparing myself to others because I have to beat out over one hundred and fifty people to get into my program, and I don't know if I can even beat out one. 

I am wishes someone would just tell me what to go with my life because I will never make a decision. 

To be honest, I don't even know who I am...

Who are you?
