Who am I?

 

Who am I?

Just a lone teenager standing in the world

Watching life spin around

Wondering where I belong, where my place is

What the world should know me as

What I should see as

 

Who do others see me as?

A girl

A child

A student

A skater

A dancer

I’m all these

Yet they see only an outer shell

 

Perhaps my true self is for me and only me to know

I am all the above

Yet there is more

Only I think my thoughts

Only I experience my own life’s pleasures

Only I endure my troubles

Only I feel my pains

Only I can follow my heart

 

Who am I?

I am me

As no one else will ever know

Just me
