Who Am I
what have i become?
who am i now?
i am the same girl
i was years before now
promiscuity, shame stains these eyes
months of wear and tear
have turned this youthful heart dry
i wonder that if I looked at me
the way that others do
would i be proud of the person i am?
would God be proud of me, too
i don't think I am a horrible person
i'm not the worse on this Earth
i've seen friends and loved ones do worse
however, i let the pressure
of being "in" bring me "out"
and i am not sure, that i am proud of the person
that i am now
