This is who I am—I can’t change. I’ve tried—
I’m the girl who laughs too loud
With the jeans that will never fit quite right
Baggy because she’s ashamed of how she looks.
Yet she has no problems walking around in pajamas that went out of style last year.
This is who I am—I’ll never have the gorgeous hair
It’s always in disarray—a mess she doesn’t know what to do with.
Looks like she always just rolled out of bed and stepped out into the world
Smelling like vanilla and conditioner.
And she’ll smile at you so you don’t see the embarrassing flush that enters her cheeks.
This is who I am—I’ll never be able to compete
Against the other beauty queens who can so seemingly capture a heart.
And yet you try to convince me I’m beautiful—but I’m slow to believe
Because when I look in the mirror
It’s never beauty that I see.
This is who I am—a wanna-be poet trying to make it in the world of unlocked talent
This is who I am—afraid of opening up and allowing things to roll off her back
She won’t tell you when she’s hurting inside. Oh no…you’ll never know
When she really just wants to break down and cry
I’m not like that.
This is who I am—just wanting you to be happy. Just wanting you to be free
This is who I am—not wanting to burden you with my misery.
It’s not your fault. It’s entirely mine and my view of the world
Don’t want to hurt you or anyone. Not anymore.
I just wish I could be what you want me to be.
But I know I can’t…

I am
I am the sun, I am the rain
I am the love, I am the pain.
I was the first, I will be the last
I am the future, I was the past.
I am the light and I am the dark
I am the shadow and I am the spark.
I am the dream and I am the tale
I am the bright and I am the pale.
I am the world, I am the source
I am me, but forever yours.

Who I Am
I watch the ocean,
As the waves hit the sand,
And each grain that's found there,
Is a little piece of who I am
(Who I am...)
There is one for my dignity,
One for everything that I believe
One for every lie I've ever told...
Every secret that I've sold...
Every love that grew cold...
There is one for laughter,
Because it fills my days
There is one for every debt,
That I have yet to repay
There is one for all my friends,
And one for all my sins
There is one for every future,
That could come my way
The ocean is my song,
Everyday I sing along
The waves are the rhythm that moves me...
Through them I am complete...
I watch the

I'll probably scrap this.
I wrote it in like 10 minutes right before class.
And ugh...
>.<
Hopefully I'll think of a happier idea to write later...
Sorry guys...

No No No.... This is beautiful, I love it, it, it actually describes me very well. I mean, of course I don't know you, (duh, obviously), but still, don't scrap it, I love it so much. I wish I could write poems like that.
