    Who is "Me"

    I'm lost
    Not really sure who I am
    I paste a smile on my face
    Pretending that everything's ok
    All I do is try to pleade others
    I laugh
    I laugh when everyone laughs
    I laugh when I'm embarrassed
    I laugh when I'm hurt
    But my laugh is fake
    I don't know what i really sounds like anymore
    I try to be what everyone wants me to be
    But I feel dead inside
    An empty shell, a dress-up doll
    Made up from everyone else's ideals
    Who is "me"?
     I know I'm lost 'cause I'm not happy
    Nothing feels right
    I don't get excited and never get mad
    Not really sure of the feelings of being happy or sad
    Not sure if "me" is still in there
    I've been "everyone" for so long
    But I'll keep calling for her
    I will sing her a song:
    Little me please stop hiding, come out of the dark
    Let the sun melt away your tears
    Don't cower alone curled in the corner
    Together we can fight away your fears

    And that is the essence of others of our tribe: we constantly need to redefine ourselves, often through the exercise of writing. We become who we "are" on the basis of our desires, and our dreams. Even our fears and frustrations define us. Keep going, girl, you've got a good start. But your world is not all dark, there are glimpses of beauty, wonder, and even the miraculous all around. But at your age, the crucible of peer pressure must be endured to come out into your twenties the real you. You are not the first one to feel begotton to the wrong generation. Your true self will emerge, and there will be friends on that day, so long as you are willing to signall them to kiss your face and not just your a.... oh, well, I've rambled too much already. two thumbs up for your insight and honesty.

    At 19 it is understandable that you feel this way. There is time to find out who you are. It takes time to find the"me " you are looking for but you will! Well done. Anyone that is 19 or has ever been 19 can identify with this poem. Keep writing, you are talentd.
