I AM...

i am a daughter, a sister, a grabd-daughter, a niece, a cousin, a friend. i am a partner, a student, a young girl and a grown woman. i am confident and scared, terrified and excited. i am loving and caring and thoughtful and hopeful. i am sick and tired. i am shy and friendly and carefull and careless. i am broken and whole. i am missunderstood, misguided and mislead. i am hardworking and determined but a little scared on the inside. i nwish on stars and dream my dreams. i pray to god and cry my tears. i smile on the outside whileim dying on the outside, i listen to others who wont listen to me, i walk on eggshells and i walk on fire, i believe in passion but not true love. i love you and i push you away, i want you but not so close. i am everything and nothing all at once. and all i want is for you to love me.
