Poem #31// Me

I am my demons.
I am my own cage.
I am my fears.
I amy my dreams, my hopes, my desires.

I am my disappointments.
I am my tears.
I am my sadness.
I am my joy, my happiness, my pride.

I am my loneliness.
I am my absence.
I am my self hate.
I am my restraint, my strength, my strong-will.

I am my weaknesses.
I am my mistakes.
I am my failure.
I am my accomplishments, my goals, my skills.

I used to not know,
Where to go,
What I wanted,
Who I was.
But now I understand.

I am not your puppet, your doll, your toy.
I am not here for your amusement or to please.
I'm no one great and that's okay.
For I am someone simple.

I am, me.
