I Am...


More than what you see when I walk by

Not just a pretty face with brown eyes

Well put together

yes indeed

Yet struggling to provide for a family of 6 who is ineed

In need of love and affection, when our economic stability is in a

"recession"

I am happy in and out

even when not making enough money makes me doubt

Doubts of not working hard enough build up stress

I am confident to become a sucsess

to get my family out of this mess

I am more than what you see when I walk by

I am not just a pretty face with brown eyes....

<p>I know I am not the only teen going through a struggle. Any struggle deserves motivation and this is what my poem is aiming towards. Girls and boys, you can do it!</p>
