I Am


I am weak but strong I wonder if I can live on my own. I hear my dad's voice guiding me. I see the people who thought I was nothing. I want to be successful. I am weak and strong. I pretend to smile through everything. I feel the broken mirror slice my wrists again. I touch my scars to remind me of my past. I worry I will never stop. I cry after I realize what I did. I am weak but strong. I understand the consequence of my decisions. I say let's do it. I dream about my future. I try to not panic. I hope my panic attacks stop. I am weak but strong.
