Simply Me

I'm a daughter,
A sister,
A friend.
I'm insecure.
I'm shy.
I'm awkward.
I don't understand things
I'm backwards:
I flip.
I wish the unwishable
I become the unknown.
I do the impossible.
I'm a pessimist
A narcissist
A believer.
I trust strangers too easily.
I don't trust my friends enough.
I'm a nerd.
A geek.
An emo.
Love me.
Trust me.
Hate me.
Judge me.
Do whatever you want.
Call me gay.
Call me stupid.
Do whatever.
I know what's true.
And you obviously don't.
I have my innocence,
and you don't have anything close to it.
So it's okay.
Because I feel sorry for you,
because you will never get to experience the things that I will have joy in.
I'm an individual.
I'm unique.
I'm me.
I'm Erin, and you can't change that.
