I Am Who I Want To Be Print E-mail

Ipoetry corner Am Who I Want To Be

By Alisha M. 14, Tatamagouche

 
I used to think I wanted to be someone else. 
Smaller, taller, skinnier, or shorter. 
I tried many different ways.
Diets, running, anything I could. 
 
I wanted to be beautiful.
 
So beautiful that when people looked at me, 
They went into utter shock.
 
People told me I was good looking the way I am. 
I wanted to be phenomenal not just ok.

Eventually I decided that I couldn’t change.

I would be ugly forever.


Is that how people look at me?

Do they see me like I see myself?



Nothing is the way it should be. 

That is what I thought.

 

But eventually I stopped to think.

 

I am who I want to be.

Is that possible?

 

Can I be the person I have always tried to be?
Can I be the beautiful girl everyone said I am?
 


I think I can. I can be who I have always wanted to be.
I am who I want to be.
