Who Am I?

Who am I?
Is this really me?
No, This isn't me!
This isn't me!
I look in the mirror, but it isn't me I see
Can it possibly be?
I never intended all this pain. . .
All of this suffering. . .
I feel alone, like No one else can save me
Friendship never lasts long for me.
No one ever stays to help.
