Who


I went to the counsler

they asked me what i wanted to be

what i wanted to do

"this is your future" they say

but they never ask "Who"

sometimes what you do isn't who you are

a lot of times its hard:

people are mean

and people are scared

of people

because sometimes honesty

hurts

but sometimes we need to

wake up

stand up

breathe

and live

becasue

life is for the living!

these next four years

don't define me

these next 10 years

don't deefine me

I define me because

I am;

beautiful

smart

courageous

talented

unique

caring

loving

and

so are you

and you

and you

you are awesome

you matter

you are

important

you are a piece of lifes' puzzle

a polorid moment

you were born with many gifts

that make you

you

dont let anybody take that away

because you

are the only

you

so

when people stop and ask

"what do you want to do"

or

" what do you want to be"

simply say:

" I'm going to be me"
