I Am

You have no idea who I am, I am not the one who’ll move the mountains, I am the one trying to climb them, And I am not happy with myself. I am a stranger in my own body, I am everyone’s punching bag, I am constantly being used, And I am always being chewed up and spit out. I am not who you think I am, I am far from who I want to be, I am not someone’s everything, I am everyone’s nothing. I am just another star in the sky, I am but a moment in time, I am a grain of sand on a beach, And I am a drop in the ocean. I am not done with this world yet, Even though the world is done with me, I am still a diamond in the rough, And I am not done writing my story yet.
