I am

I am a poet, writing of my pain.
I am a person, living a life of shame.
I am your daughter, hiding my depression.
I am your sister, making a good impression.
I am your friend, acting like I'm fine.
I am a wisher, wishing this life wasn't mine.
I am a girl who thinks of suicide.
I am a teenager, pushing her tears aside.
I am a student who doesn't have a clue.
I am the girl sitting next to you.
I am the one asking you to care.
I am your best friend, hoping you'll be there.
