I am me


I am human

I have imperfections 

I don’t listen to nobody
Not to my parents nor my teachers
Stress makes me drink
Giggles cover the pain 
I struggle with inside
I am broken
From years of those imperfections
Being brought up by others
From the guilt of never being worthy
Self consciousness coming to the surface
I am hopeful
I know that no matter how hard I mess up
How much my life falters
There is a way
So I am human
And I am broken 
My heart desolate 
But still I hope
And Pray
Every day gets better
I get stronger
And smarter
And more beautiful
Inside 
And out
Because I am human
Because I am me
