i am not
April 5, 2015
i am not my mother,
but she just cant understand that.
i am not my sister,
but i am not a waste of space.
i am not sure of who i am,
but you cannot mold me to be someone i am not.
i am not completely sure of what i want,
but you cannot force feed me things i dont want
i am strong enough to bear the pressure i have now,
but please dont pile more on.
i am not perfect,
but please dont hate me if i am not.
i am only me,
and is that not enough?
