My Life

~Identity

Who am I?ㅡI keep wondering,

That new kid at school who sits all alone?

That girl who would do anything to keep glimmering?

That boy who's not afraid to speak his mind?

Or that person whom people think is boring?

I'll try to explain to you who I am,

I'm that person who is not worth considering,

So worthless, unappreciated,

I'm that person who is suffering.

I continue to fall into the darkness,

Trying so hard to keep battling,

But I knowㅡit will eventually win,

Coldness touching my skinㅡchills rush up my spine,

I'm shuddering.

I'm like that flower you keep watering,

Not directed under the sunlightㅡI will die,

I'm like that painting you keep coloring,

Disgust and frustration in your eyesㅡyou throw me away,

I'm like that old building, which keeps tottering.

I hear voices echo in my headㅡeverywhere,

Trying to ignore them, but they won't stop whispering,

Scars over my bodyㅡcaused by people with their painful words,

I hide behind long sleevesㅡthe marks, I keep covering.

The pressure is getting to me,

I'm that person who is constantly struggling,

All the tears, the pain, the heartaches,

They are too overpowering.

Who am I?

I'm that person whose mind stopped functioning,

Head full of voices that are threatening,

Shattered heart that keeps scattering,

Eyes filled with tears that are pouring.

Feeling so lost and disoriented,

I'm that person who's always wandering.
