Who I Am


I am a second year college student

I am a biomedical engineer

I am a biochemist

I am a waitress

I am tired

I am still awake

I am succeeding.

 

I am low

I am high

I am medicated

I am numb

I am sad

I am happy

I am sick

I am succeeding.

 

I am trying new medicines

I am too happy

I am too sad

I am not feeling

I am feeling too much

I am succeeding.

 

I am homework

I can do this

I can't do this, it is too much, but

I am all A's and B's

I am succeeding.

 

I am trying

I am fighting

I am battling every day and

I am succeeding.

 

I am sick

I am struggling

I am lost but

I am also found

I am severe depression and

I am okay, because

I am succeeding
