I am Me

#nofilter

I wish I could tell you that this was a poem about a girl who had no worries

Sadly that is not me.

Me...

When asked to define myself

I slip on a mask

I hide the tears.

I try and tell the story of the girl

All smiles and Happiness, 

But she isn't me.

I'm the girl in the background,

I'm loud with my friends, 

yet quiet with everyone else.

I'm the girl who loves music

All genres,

from  Taylor Swift to Evanescence.

I'm the girl who loves writing,

even if my grammar is wrong.

I am Me

There are days when I feel like death

and others when I feel like life.

I'm a girl who loves her Fandoms

Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

That's just me

I'm the girl who loves to read Mystery and Fantasy books

The far away lands and law suits in court

They all take me away from the real world.

 I'm the girl, who like every other teen can't wait to move out,

but then reality hits

I see the scary world that is waiting for me

Me...

I'm a bundle of stress and tears

Joy and laughter

I'm a loyal friend

A prolific student

A first born daughter

I am Me

Yet my heart trusts much to easily

I'm the girl liable to get hurt

I'm clumsy

I stumble

But i pick myself back up again

because I am Me

I'm the girl who likes to spread herself thin

and still gets everything done

I'm the girl who hides her true feelings

behind a mask

That mask, I perform 

I'm the girl who loves to perform on a stage

till its no longer me on that stage

but someone else

I'm the girl with a confused heart

and sometimes confused mind

I am Me

I have trouble defining myself

I don't always like myself

I can't always comprehend the big world that is staring me down

When asked to define myself I try to hide

I find it hard to speak

When asked to define myself

I want to tell a story of a happy girl

But that is not me

When asked to define myself

sometimes I freeze

I don't know what to say

but even when i can't find an answer some days

I will always be me

because

I am Me
