Writing Wednesday | Poem: Who I Am

I wrote this back as an assignment for my Creative Writing class my Junior year. I haad a lot of fun with this one and I hope you guys like it. Enjoy! Who I Am I am me not you not anyone. I dream of a life that is mine to control and not others. I create whole worlds with my pen when I write.

I would like to point out that this is not exactly light-hearted as it deals with the topic of depression. I wrote this as a reflection of my own battle with depression, though the main character's situation is different to mine. I hope you all enjoy this. Coming Clean ( Katelyn sits back against her bedroom door, razor poised over her wrist. Above her loud music, she hears her pounding on the door. She puts the razor down and pounds on the door, yelling. ) Will you two quit it! I’m trying to study!( whispers ) Why does everyone start worrying so much?
