Who I Am

I was never promised anything

There are no for sure's

I've learned there's two sides to everything

And no one is really sure



I've been down the road less traveled

I've made a few of my own

I know you can have it all

Even if you are all alone



I've been thrown more then a few curve balls

And yeah, I've tripped and fallen on my face

Sometimes its taken me a while to get back up

Had to go at my own pace



There are things about me

I wish I'd never have to show

But if I didn't let them out

I could never let them go



Some days I don't feel so pretty

All I can think about

Is everything I lack

Then I remember, and thank God for everthing I have



I'd like to think I always give

Just as much as I take

I just seem to give to all the wrong people

Perhaps one of my worst mistakes



I can't tell you exactly who I am

Only who I want to be

I guess that's part of who I am now

Everything little thing, makes me



I'll try to lay it out for you

So here's the list

All I know for sure is this:



I like the color pink, because it makes me feel young and safe



I'm very self concious, I look in a mirror about 2234 times a day



I won't wear any other color socks then white, because when I was little, she said thats how it should be, then yelled at me



I'm afraid to be alone at night, but I usually am



I really do love my parents, no matter what I say about them



I don't like silence, because I'm scared I'll seem unintersting



I have a photographic memory, and I remember everything, except where I put anything



I have my grandfather's eyes, thats why I love them so much



All my famliy has done so much for me, I could never give them back enough



I have a heart that is open, but a mind that is sometimes closed



Sometimes I smile, only because I don't know what else to do



Maybe it's not what we do that makes us who we are, but more the reason why



I guess I can't answer you question, but I will try

And just so you know, if I never told you I love you, it was a lie

I have more to tell about who I am, but this is to you, and if you want to know more, you'll ask me
