I Am

I am who I am and I cant change that. Maybe I don't want to. I used to try, I stretched myself thin, trying to make myself into something I'm not, but when i finally snapped back I realized that there is no one in the world I rather be than myself I am who I am I am this heart with all the pain and desire and hope it contains I am this soul that burns bright and deep I am these tears that run for everything i have lost I am the words I write I am my mistakes and i am my triumphs I grow from my past and strive for my future I am everything yet sometimes I still can't help but feel like nothing.
