Who I Am Who I am is who I’ll be until I die, My birth was the start of my ending, In the beginning….. I never had a care in the world, Everything was glamorous like gemstones and pearls. As I got older depression started to settle in like rigamortis does to corpses, I look for different ways to abort this. It’s hopeless for me to run away from my destiny and pain, When I stop running I realize no distance has been gained, And my problems still Remain. I’m on the outside looking in through the window, On the outside in the cold feeling the icy wind blow. Wanting to come in to the warmth and love of the people inside, My birth was the start, of who I am inside, And who I am is who I’ll be Until I die. |

"When I stop running I realize no distance has been gained, And my problems still Remain." This is so true. We should learn to face our problems. I really enjoyed the read a lot. Thanks for the wonderful share. Keep it up. hi Sweets, Lizzy, Jesa, Ina, Allysa, Marie, Erica, Minna, Kit, Kamie, Javi, Jenn, Sharon, Nan, Cawlee, Cherish, Chelsea, Baker, Leah, Jess, Kimmie |

Long time, no read, lol. As usual babyboy your innermost feelings are being expressed on the pages. Loved it! As my borough has always stated- Do or Die. |

A lot of raw emotion here. Great expression On the outside in the cold feeling the icy wind blow. Wanting to come in to the warmth and love of the people inside There's lots of warmth and love here in Passions If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

You write your truths very well...and through them, will find an acceptance of who you are, with the knowledge that you can still be who you dream... well done! |
