I Am Me


How can I feel everything and nothing at the same time? How can I be loved, but still feel all alone? How can I be smart, but act so stupid? How can I be stressed and frustrated, yet appear to be calm? How can I hate everything, but still have sympathy? How can I be so angry for no reason? How can I be strong enough to hold it all in, but too weak to let anyone know? How can I act so confident, but feel so self-conscious? How can I be broken, without having someone brake me? How can I scream so loud, yet not have anyone hear me? How can I find the words, when I’m so lost? Why am I so torn? Why am I full of contradictions? Who am I? I am me. I am a contradiction. I am different. I am an artist. I am a dreamer. I am a reader. I am a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I am a person who wears many masks, but behind all of them I am me. I am me.

This was from a project I did in high school that was suppose to help discover who you are and how to explain what that means.
