I am...


Who am I

I am the little girl running from nowhere

I am she who wakes up from her nightmares to check her family is still there

I am she who withstood everything everyone through her way

I am her who too scared to cry

I am her who nobody knew her name

I am her who gave away everything to help her friend

I am her who stood up to someone else for someone else

The question is who am I really

I am the scared person who does not like their past

I am me the me who know everything yet nothing

I am she who hides her pain for others happiness

I am her how can’t conform to make her family happy

I am the daughter who makes her parents mad

I am the grandchild who does everything wrong

I am she who will grab the line when through yet throws it to another

I am her who makes her own past present future

I am him

I am her

I am who I am

I am you

I am no one

Yet I am everyone

The question is who am I really
