I am-- not

I am not a drug addict, but I have a birth father and mother who are.

​I am not a Alcoholic, but I know many.

I am not transgender, but I've seen Caitlyn Jenner.

I am not gay, but I have friends who are.

I am not Bi, but I have a Best friend who is.

I am not beautiful, but I've been called pretty.

I am not sexy, but I've been called fine.

I am not prude, but I am a virgin.

I am not short, but I'm shorter than 5'4'' which make me average.

I am not old, but I am going to be 18.

I am not young, but I'm still considered a kid.

I am not a thief, but I have stolen.

I am not free, but I'm not a slave.

I am not sad, but  I'm not enthusiastic.

I am not a writer, but I have to write.

I am not ready, but people keep pushing.

I am not rich, but I want to keep buying.

I am not fat, but I have to classify myself as "thicke"

I am not straight haired, but I flat Iron my hair to be considered pretty.

I am not finished, but people keep wanting to stop me.

I am me. And no one will stop me.
