I

I've seen my grades gotten worser
I see my dad hitting me harder
I hear your screams getting louder
I see my tears coming down harsher
I pretend that everything between my parents is fine
I feel like when your hand hits mine
I wonder how life will take me farther
I am a student and a daughter

I try to be the person that you want me to be
I worry if my kids will see the things I see
I cry knowing that my brothers life is going to get harder
I can't see my life getting better
I see my mind getting more pressured
I know that my beauty can't be measured
I am a cousin and sister

I say not everything is what it sounds
I worry that when I grow up you might not be around
I am the one that just wishes you would just love me
I take advantage to the best things that's in life, which are free
I dream that one day everything will be alright in my life
I'm the one that gets scared when you reach for that knife
I am a girl and a wife

I am the one that's not thinking of suicide
I am the person who don't want nothing to hide
I think that nobody says I love you the way you say it
I am always the one that gives alot for a little bit
I wish you knew how far I would go for you
Just to hear those four words "I love you too"
Every time I write you letter, I'm scared to hit send
I am a godchild and a girlfriend

Now do you know who I am? I'll give you a clue
I'm that girl that's sitting next to you
