I AM

A son
A grandson
A cousin
A friend
A young boy
and a grown man
I am confident and scared
terrified and excited
I am loving and caring
and shy and friendly
and careful and careless
I am misunderstood
misguided and misled
I am hardworking and determined
I am a little scarred on the inside
I wish on stars and dream my dreams
I pray to God and cry my tears
I smile on the outside
while I'm dying on the inside
I listen to others who won't listen to me
I wal on eggshells, and I walk on fire
I believe in passion but not true love
I love you and I push you away
I want you but not so close
I am everything and nothing all at once
and all I want is for you to

LOVE ME
