I Am
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 making a good impression.
I am your friend acting like I'm fine.
I am wisher wishing this life wasn't mine.
I am a girl who thinks of suicide.
I am a teenager pushing her tears aside.
I am student who doesn't have a clue.
I am the girl sitting next to you.
I am the one asking you to care.
I am your best friend hoping you'll be there.
