What Am I Made Of?

I am made of friendship and family

of comedy and tragedy

of love and loss

of heartbreak from my own actions

of expecting too much to only receive disappointment

of finding my pieces to build my castle of glass, only to have a pebble shatter my walls again


I'm made of discoveries well overthought

of struggling with acceptance of homosexuality

of finally being able to breathe after years of pain


I'm made of mental illness that plagues my everyday while no one sees the real me

of feeling alone and loveless while I'm blind to others

of wanting so desperately to change a hopeless world by defying societal standards



I'm made of believing that no one will love me the way I so desperately desire to be loved


I'm of finding solace in the fictional worlds within my head

of the music pulsing from my ears to my veins

of realizing that there' s more to life than what's in front of me

of having faith that somehow I'll be okay


I'm made of an accepted independence and individuality because of the things that could have killed me, but seemed to just distract me from what's important


Most importantly, though,

I'm made of me
