"I smoke, I hate, I yell, I frustrate, I let everyone know who I am, and yet keep my identity a secret.

I am a writer.

I am expression in its purest form.

I can take a sentence and butter it up so much that you no longer recognize what said sentence was trying to say.

And still I have a disability.

Still I am handicapped.

Still I am whole.

Still I am single.

Still I am married.

And though I say the truth I lie with every word that leaves my mouth.

I love you.

I hate you.

I love that I hate you.

I hate that I love you.

I am me.

I am you.

I am everyone you ever looked at, everyone you ever kissed, everyone you ever loved, everyone you ever hung out with.

And still I am no one.

I write.

I read.

I listen.

I talk.

And though nothing ever leaves my mouth I have said more than you could in a lifetime.

I am simply divine.

I am a heathen.

I am whatever you say I am.

And still, I am me..."

You guys are too nice! I swear!

I'm only 17! I can't really be writing as well as you guys say I am!

But I do appreciate it, and when I write something more I will definitely post it.
