I Am Poem Two Poem by Tayla Fankhauser

I am a poet writing of my hurt
I am a person living a life of shame
I am a daughter hiding my pain
I am your sister making a good impression.

I am your saying that she is fine
I am a wisher wishing this life weren’t mine
I am a girl who thinks of heaven.
I am a teenager pushing her tears aside.

I am a student who acts good.
I am the girl that says she’s tired but she’s not it’s the pain
I am a friend asking you to care about me.
I am you’re friend hoping you’ll be there for me.
