Who I Am
December 13, 2018
I try to be the good girl
The girl who has it all together
But i'm not
I'm the girl crumbling into pieces trying to find herself
The girl who isn't sure who she is
But knows what she has to be
But that isn't the real me
The real me wants to escape from that trapped box of everyone's expectations
It seems impossible
I want to find me
But it seems to be the hardest thing that can be
Who I am is up to me
But you see
No one seems understand that part of me
