Who Am I?
I'm trapped with the everlasting question of who I am?
It's been burned in my mind, branded there for all time
They call me beautiful, tell me I'm pretty
Say sweet things
But to me all those words don't mean a thing
They don't know me
The monster I am inside
They only see the girl I try so hard to hide
If they could see the violence, have a peak into my mind
They'd all run, they'd all hide
I've been looking for love, but I'm not willing to settle
They say they love me
They don't know who I happen to be
How could they when I don't know who I am
Have a look
At my facebook
The network says their my friends
If they are, then where are they when my world falls apart
My families all I have, through thick and thin
Their there for me no matter what trouble I've gotten myself in
Girls, they talk about me behind my back
Guys, their always on the attack
People come, people go
They break my heart
Ripe my world apart
So make fun of me, go ahead
I don't care my hearts won't be dead
I used to be able to fly
But they tore me from the sky
They broke my wings and I still don't know why
I suck at being 16 and I suck at math
Walking through the forest I don't follow the given path
The only one I can depend on
Is my God and my God alone
No I won't give up
I have to many people to annoy
And to many to enjoy
So do your worst
Cuz baby I'm in this world, but I'm not of this world
It's been burned in my mind, branded there for all time
They call me beautiful, tell me I'm pretty
Say sweet things
But to me all those words don't mean a thing
They don't know me
The monster I am inside
They only see the girl I try so hard to hide
If they could see the violence, have a peak into my mind
They'd all run, they'd all hide
I've been looking for love, but I'm not willing to settle
They say they love me
They don't know who I happen to be
How could they when I don't know who I am
Have a look

If they are, then where are they when my world falls apart
My families all I have, through thick and thin
Their there for me no matter what trouble I've gotten myself in
Girls, they talk about me behind my back
Guys, their always on the attack
People come, people go
They break my heart
Ripe my world apart
So make fun of me, go ahead
I don't care my hearts won't be dead

Who you are is a question everyone must answer. The only people who do not care are the extremely shallow. In which case if you hit one with car, keep fucking driving.
This piece is quite insightful and after reading it, I think you know more about yourself then you let on. You know that truelove should be more than just attraction to a physical body. You realize that those you meet on social media sites are merely there for distractive conversation and usually not the intelligent kind.
You know family comes first. And the words of others matter not. Trust me when I say that the best path to take is one you forge yourself. Because in the end you're the only one you'll answer to.

that would most likely be emotion clouding judgment. but control comes in time. i waged war for years before i learned it. all for the greater good.

Just because you have a young body and mind. doesn't mean you don't have an old soul.

Didn't even see you had such a similar poem. Very well done. Trying to figure it out comes with time. Just make sure you enjoy what they call youth.
