Who I am

Who I am is a complicated thing.

It’s an explanation full of repetition and contradiction.

How am I supposed to explain when it’s full of double meaning.

Well, I thought I'd give it a try.

I am that girl who is both quiet and loud at the same time.

I am that girl who wants to be quiet but grew up to speak lies.

I am that girl who lives on constant extremes.

I am that girl who can’t be in the middle so she is either nothing or everything.

I am that girl who is the smartest but can’t get a grip of the basics.

I am that girl who knows the hardest but not the easiest.

I am that girl who tells others they’re floating when they’re really falling.

I am that girl who’s words don’t match her thoughts.

I am that girl who gets called childish but has been through more than most adults.

I am that girl who thinks like an adult but gets treated like a child.

I am that girl who the attention is always on but gets treated like a side character.

I am that girl who the spotlight is always near but gets thrown to the side.

I am that girl who is drowning but loves the water.

I am that girl who is in a hurricane but loves the wind.

I am so many  things it’s painful sometimes.

I am so many things that don’t fit together.

Like a messed up puzzle.

Like a piano with mixed keys.

I am the words I type and write.

I am the ink splatters that happen to make a masterpiece.

I am a poet.

Even if I don’t know who I am
