Unstable Life

I am a poet writing of my pain.
I am a person living a life of shame.
I am your daughter hiding my depression.
I am your sister trying to make a good impression.
I am your friend acting like I am fine.
I am a wisher wishing this life weren't mine.
I am a victim who once thought of suicide.
I am the addict who pushes her tears aside.
I am troubled without a clue.
I am the strong capable girl sitting next to you.
I am beautiful, as well as yourself.
     Why?...because I am.
I am unique.
I am venturous.
I am different,
     diverse,
     and dominant.
I am kind.
I am disobedient.
I am mature,
     misguided,
     and unsure...
I am what this world's been hiding...I am ME!
