"I am the Girl"
I have two identities.
One, is the way that people see me, when they really don’t know me.
The way they perceive me in a photo,
Or a quote,
Or a video;
The way they see my smile,
My eyes,
My face,
My body,
And they think they know me,
But they dont.
There is another me, the real me.
I am the person behind the screen,
Gaining confidence from every photo I release.
I am the girl who ignores real life,
Because sometimes I get so caught up in the wired life.
I am the girl who finally decides to shut it off for a while,
And go outside and feel the warm air.
I am the girl who feels the air and the grass and the mud,
And knows that this feeling isn’t one you could just describe.
I am the girl who finally thinks about life,
Once I feel like I’m not keeping up with it.
I am the girl who thinks about everything thats wrong,
When I don’t have the one thing that makes me feel like everything alright.
I am the girl who everyone knows
But no one actually, sincerely knows.
