Who am I?
I am
Myself
I am a
Poetess
Not on
The shelf
I am a
Singer
Who sings
All alone
I am a
Rebel
Who screams
At the wall

I am a
Friend
Who walks by
Herself
I am a
Child
With so much
To say
I am a
Coward
Who stands up
To fight
I am a
Ghost
In the deep of
The night

So look at me
And see
If you will
The contradiction

Again

Take a long
Look

And see
The person

That’s me
