Who Am I?
December 14, 2013
A friend once told me,
"You are like a combination of us"
These past few years;
years of being bullied,being judged, and being heartbroken,
have made me forget who I really am.
I have learned to copy other's thoughts and actions so I don't repeat my past of hardship.
I fear who I was so I live a lie.
While I have lived it, I have become it.
Have I become a monster? Or is this what it means to be human?
Are humans just built up on influences in fear of being judged like I am?
I don't want to be fake anymore.
I want to become my own person.
