I Am Alexis


I am the choice between wrong and right,
I am the difference between night  and day,

I am the reason why my mom has been disappointed  since first sight,

I am the depression hidden away,

I am the distraction from the fight,

I am the fearful teenager,

I am the insomniac awake most of the night,

I am the choice between putting down the razor,

I am the change from everyday,

I am the recovery,

I am the choice to run away,
I am the fury,

I am Alexis Ryan and this is half of my story.
