I Am Ii

I am a daughter
A sister
A granddaughter 
A niece 
A cousin 
A friend 
A student 
A young girl
And a grown women 

I am a giver and a taker 
A dreamer confined 
I talk to much and listen to well 
I do so little and try so hard 

I am confident and scared
Arrogant and afraid 
Mighty and small 
Loud and quiet 
Proud and destroyed
Charming and dreadful 

I am sick and well 
Truthful and doubted
Safe and harmful
Ugly and beautiful
Right and wrong 
Seen and hated

I am cared for and abused
Found and neglected  
Loved and alone 
Free and caged 

I am Alive and Dead
