Who Am I?

I try to be the good girl,
The girl who has it all together,
But I'm not.

The girl who isn't sure who she is but knows what she has to be,
But that isn't the real me.

The real me wants to escape from that trapped box of everyone's expectations.
It seems impossible.
I want to find me.

But it seems to be the hardest thing that can be.
Who I am is up to me, but you see,
No one seems understand that part of me.

This poem is so relatable, at least to my life. Those expectations everybody has for us are so much bigger that in trying to achieve them we lose ourselves and then a time comes when we realize this and take a moment to htink about and then nothing is left. Time is just gone, so we should take a moment out of all of the chaos and think -- think about who we actually are.
