Who Am I

life in general can be 
complicated 
things never seem right 
problems that can never be 
fixed 
confusion sprouts up in my 
head
ideas turn to mush
feelings blur together in a giant 
black blob
this is me 
nothing i can do to change it 
this horridly ugly body that my 
once so open mind is stuck in
never being able to understand 
who i am or what i am here to 
do 
things ive never thought about 
are stuck in my mind 
the problems in my life are 
uncontrollably rolling down hill
people i once thought about are 
being lost in time
the friends that i thought were 
everything are now distant 
memories
all except for one
who seems to be the best thing 
in my life at this moment
to bad he doesnt seem to 
notice i could be something 
more than a friend
the most important people in 
my mind seem to disapear 
who am i?
and how do i find out

This s is a lovely poem, and also sad in a way, I really enjoyed reading it, but the verses who am I stayed in my mind, You Are A Child Of the King, Jesus! and He loves you no matter how you think you look, to him you are Beautiful! Be proud because he made you for a reason.
