Lately i have been thinking. Is this me? Who am I? And then tonight at dinner my brother said "This isnt you"
And so many questions popped into my head
Are you sure?
Who am I then?
If this isnt me, who is me?
And if its not me, where can i find well...me.
People say to be yourself, but the funny thing is... Do you understand how hard that is?
How hard it is to just... Be yourself? The easiest thing to say, is the hardest thing to be, pretty ironic i would say. Im still young, and yet i want to know who i am. And no book, family tree, or t.v. show is going to tell me that. I have to find it out myself, cause hey. Im going to have to live with me for a long time. And your probably saying "Really sophia?" sarcasm dripping in your voice "Thanks for pointing out the obvious." But as i sit here staring out my window, what if i already found myself? And now my true self is coming out? And no one likes it? Sometimes i hear my family talking about me in hushed voices "Oh her attitude" " Its gotta change" "this isnt like her" Can it stop please? Its hard enough to watch amazing, grace full, beautiful super models every day on t.v. and in magazines. And now your telling me this isnt like me? How do you know who i am, and i dont? How do you know who i am, and i still have no clue at all. Could you give me a hint please? Why do i have to be confused? I may look fine on the outside, but on the inside im splitting open, and im screaming in frustration.
I`ll look at the mirror and see myself, and i love myself completely. And i dont want to change at all... But i do want to become the woman that will make me happy, proud, and not ashamed. But i dont want to have to worry about upsetting everyone. So if you could please deal with my "meltdowns" "random out burst of rage" and anything else headed your way? Im going to shape up into the woman that will make me proud. And not to sound self centered, but thats all that matters right? How i feel? Not how you feel, not how my parents feel, me.
Identity... Is it a myth? Or is there hope... (theres always hope, or so they say) that im gonna find me? Parents and friends are supposed to guide you, but i dont want to be guided now that i think about it. If im going to find me, i want to do it by myself. (with only a few nudges on the way) I want to one day look in the mirror and go "Yea... thats me"
