I Know Who I Am

i know who i am. i am my mother and father's daughter. i am a writer, and i try very hard not to hate people. you challenge me. i like to runaway from things, away from people, away from problems. sometimes, i like to be alone. you're crowding me. i have dreams. i have goals. a lot of goals, i'm not reaching. not because i can't, but because i don't think i can. it's people like you who are so eager to prove me right. you disappoint me. i know who i am. i try very hard to be the person i want to. i don't wear disguises to fit your "mold". i have my own. i'm all by myself there. you dislike me for it. maybe you are the poser. thats right, i know exactly who i am. so you do not know me. and, i'm getting kind of sick of people like you, who pretend they do. it's none of you're business, because you do not know me.
