Me Divide By 3 Poem by Jasmine Robert

At school I am Jazzy.
I am smiling and friendly.
You see a poised well- mannered young women.
I am quiet but focused with my head on straight.
Well-organized Honor Roll student.
A real rule follower.

At home I am Jasmine Emily.
I am crazy and adventurous with a little wild thrown in.
I am myself...loud and dramatic.
I'm a live in baby-sitter for my young brother.
I can be argumentative, selfish, conceited, and rude.
I test boundaries and try patience, a rule breaker.

Inside me I am Jasmine.
I am confused and i want everything to stay the same.
I don't want things to ever change but yet I do.
I wonder will I be the person everyone else wants or the person I want to be.
Will I be someone I am going to like or hate?
I'm afraid of losing my friends especially my best friend to the changes that are incvitable.
I stand at a crossroad and I am lost.
Chocies and decisions overwhelm me.
I am worried that my dreams will go unfilled.
I have regrets now and wonder if my future will hold only more.
I have had my heart broken and want to cry and never stop.
Yet I have been taught to never show vulnerability it's a weakness.
I react without thinking.
My biggest fear is being like my father-gentic codes already in place... Lying dormant, waiting.
I have already experienced some extreme low points and the pain that is created.
But out of the pain is the strenght to fight back up to the top and make my own rules.
