I Am Poem by miranda sarlund

I am a poet writing of my pain

I am a person living a life of shame

I am your daughter hiding my depression

I am your sister making a good impression

I am your friend acting like I'm fine

I am a wisher wishing this weren't mine

I am a girl who thinks of suicide

I am a teenager pushing her tears aside

I am a student who doesn't have a clue

I am the girl sitting next to you

I am the one asking you to care

I am your best friend hoping you'll be there
