I am


I am

I am outwardly confident and inwardly doubtful.

I wonder who actually notices.  

I hear whispers of regret in the back of my mind.

I see the finish line.

I want to be successful.

I am outwardly confident and inwardly doubtful.

I pretend to have it figured out.

I feel like im on the right track.

I touch the people closest to me, and I don’t want to lose them.

I worry about them constantly.

I cry when I think of life without them.

I am outwardly confident and inwardly doubtful.

I understand that I am fortunate.

I say to myself, “You can do it!”

I dream about an easy life.

I try to make the best of what I’ve been dealt.

I hope I’ll stay the course.

I am outwardly confident and inwardly doubtful.
