I dont know who i am anymore..

by Girl of Conviction   Apr 4, 2012


Years gone by, wearing the same fake smile,
real happiness is something i haven't felt in a while.
Going through this life acting like everythings okay,
i could tell someone all my problems but they probably wouldn't care anyway.

You see my dads an addict, my moms always drunk,
i could tell them how i feel, but why waste my breath? i'd just leave feeling like junk.
I still love them, they're my parents you see.
maybe they're just confused, like me.

I've tried many times to make everyone happy, but it turns out it just ended up making me unhappy.
My friends trying to tell me who i should be and how i dress,
me being me all i could say was yes.

I dont know who i am anymore,
i feel like my lifes been thrown out the door.
So many chances to stand up and say,
i dont want to be this way, anymore.

    We all go through something similar, believe it or not, I'm still in that process of finding out who I am and I still believe that I have all the rest of my life to find out. It was a good write and definitively something that makes the reader ponder on.

    Apart from a few spelling errors...
    waist-waste
    'my moms a drunk,'
    Should be 'Drunkard'

    This piece is great. The theme and atmosphere is sad and hopeless. A great read. Thanks for sharing this. Hope all is well..
