I Am Who I Am

Please read. Personal.

I am just as everyone says of a normal teenager,

I am lost and I hope to find the person I'm meant to be.

I hope one day I will grow to be a little nicer but a bit meaner

as well. I hope one day I realize what I have talent for

because words will end up getting me nowhere. 

I want to be able to say proudly "I am who I am, and this is who I am".

I want to be able to fight my own battles on my own, 

and know when I need assistance in life's battlefield. 

I am just as everyone says I am:

sweet and devilish,trustworthy and likable,

caring and knowing,innocent and guilty.

I know my stare is frightening, with the hint of glare I can't help but care.

My feelings are there in my heart just like the thoughts in my brain.

If you insult me to the highest I will not say anything

because I am still building, but even if I wasn't I would straight out tell you:

"go look at yourself before you accuse others of being ugly, 

because you are the dull knife that a rock cannot sharpen."

I'd like to think I'm weak, but I acknowledge that I am strong

and I know my heart can lift ten cars in a heartbeat. 

I have yet more room to grow and I can't wait for the peak

because of the plate tectonics causing this quaking,

but I am who I am, because that is who I am.

If you cannot deal with it, nobody ever said you had to be in my life,

I will simply state now what needs to be stated.

Author's Note

I didn't count rhythms for the second stanza so I don't know what it's like. Maybe I'll read it later.

"you are the dull knife that a rock cannot sharpen."

Expressed with utter optimism and courage. It's the sincerity and story behind that counts...

I love this to the end of time and back. Your words sum up my thoughts and emotions. I relate so well and that's a good thing to have in writing, relation to other aspired writers. An amazing piece. :)
