Who am I?


 

Who am I

Am I some who's mean to fail

Or am I someone who will succeed

Am I brave

Am I kind 

Am I smart

I know I'm not perfect

I mess up time to time

But I try

I try to be perfect

Because that's all I can do

Is try

I like to give

But also to recieve

I get good grades

But I blank on tests

I don't hate anyone

But I act like I do

What is wrong with me

Why can't I be the person I want to be

I must be destined to be a bad person

Oh, I don't like that

But it must be true

Why else whould my life belike this

Up

down

Up

Down

Over and over again

It's awful

God, why is it so awfu

Why is life so awful

Why can't we all just be perfect

No death

No sadness

No suffering

Why can't it be that way

It must be me

Life was better beforeI was here

So it's all my fault

I should leave

It'd be better for every body

Yes, that's the answer

But I don't want to

Oh, am I selffish for not wanting to leave

Wait, I figured it out

I know who I am

I am broken
