I. Am. Me.

I am me.

I may not know who that is, or like who it is right now,

but regardless I am me.

Behind every action is emotion,

Behind every emotion is reason,

Behind every reason is just cause.

I will not change the person I am

nor will I change for someone other than myself.

I am an artist,

discovering new methods of appreciation.

I am a writer,

raising awareness to social issues.

I am a poet,

passionately screaming out for help -

For someone to show me who I am supposed to be.

At this point in my life

I am still searching for my identity.

That is not to say I wish to be classified by labels,

or by close-minded fools,

but rather find the body and soul I am comfortable in.

That person that can make me happy just by being alive.

I may not like who I am, but I can say I am proud;

that I am proud of certain aspects that I have:

I am strong.

I am determined.

I am passionate.

I am honest.

But it is to be remembered that:

I am human.

I am emotional.

I am hurt.

I am vulnerable.

Those facts - - those facts that we ALL share,

Should not be taken advantage of

no matter what situation arises.

I may not like who I am, or even know who that is,

but I am proud to say, that I -

I am me.
