I Am Me
I sit down in my seat and look around
How can everyone seem so perfect…so unlike me?
In the corner of my eye, I see something black like a shadow
Creeping up to me, about to pounce
I want to scream, reach out
But the darkness engulfs me
I am trapped unable to call for help
My thoughts get as dark as the never ending shadow that surrounds me
Why am I not like everyone else? Why am I not good enough?
Just when I am about to give up
There is a light
A beam of hope in the shadow of darkness
A helping hand, a comforting smile and a kind compliment guides me out of the darkness into the light.
It makes me feel ok
A comforting feeling surrounds me and
I know that I may not be perfect but I am me.
