I Am
I am the reason I didn’t get there,
I am the turn that led me astray;
I am the nonexistent boundary lines;
I am the person who avoided mirrors,
I am the woman who berated herself;
I am who was too hard too often;
I am the one who was called upon
I am the one who didn’t understand
I am the one that was needed;
I am aware now of how I fell
I am not going to go down again;
I am just a little bit wiser now;
I am the one who finally realized
I am my worst enemy.
