This Is Me
I'm not so athletic-just as you my sister,
I am not as strong just as you my brother.
I wear this mask by day light
try to keep from revealing my fears
When night falls and the moon shines
through my window blinds
I can't keep from this storm of tears.
I am not what I appear to be
You see beauty
When I look at my reflection
I see something blurry.
I guess I know not of who I am anymore.
I guess having nothing to be sure about
has made my heart and soul feel
as if it'll always be this permanent soar
I cannot go anywhere without
the drama following me
sometimes
I wonder why I was even born,
from birth a mistake to be.
