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. In Sleeping Beauty’s castle the clock strikes one hundred years and the girl in the tower returns to the world. Is that what I am? Sleeping Beauty awakening after one hundred years? I am no princess and no damsel in distress. I love who I am not what my parents try to make me. I live in a world where everything round is good: the sun, wheels, cookies, and the princess. But still I love who I am no matter what anyone says. Angels are pure and sweet not evil or unkind. I pointed to a place where kids had made angels in the snow. For some reason, I told him that a troop of angels had been shot and dissolved before they hit the ground. Maybe...

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?
