Who Am I Becoming?

Everyone says I’m this nice little girl,
With a lot of friends.
That used to be me,
But I’m not so sure anymore.

I feel like something is missing inside of me.

Like I’m trapped inside someone,

That isn’t me.

I can see me on the inside,
But not the outside.
Something or someone is changing me.
Why is this happening?



I used to know who I was, and what I


wanted.



I’m not sure of anything now.



I don’t know what is happening to me.



I don’t like it.
Please make it stop.

I’m feeling small inside, but big and mean on the outside.
I feel like something is missing.
Like the mean me is taking over.
I won’t let that happen.

This poem expresses how i was feeling about life. As I got more mature and my behavior didn't, I took a step back and realized that I didn't want to live my life like that.
