Description
I am from the "copy cat" that agrees with everyone

To flee from confrontation

I am from the "traitor" who sits along in the dark, ears covered

To hide from the thunder of personal possessions and reckless words being thrown back and forth one floor below me

I am from the "nerd" who lies in the dark, clinging to a flashlight and a book

To forget the world and it's cruel truths

I am from the "scardy cat" who hides in the mountain of blankets and jumps to get to my own bed

To avoid the ghosts of my past that creep under my bed

I am from the "loner" who listens to loud music in the corner

To drown out the criticism and put downs

I am from the "freak" who is bouncing off the walls

To avoid the prodding questions

I am from the "bitch" who tends to be both blunt and secretive

To run from people that give a shit

I am from my mistakes

I am the young woman that stands here now

Staying firm, but understanding

Taking my own side

Joining the real world

Moving on from fears

Welcoming challenges

Showing my real feelings

Letting people closer

Finally being myself
