Poems 2- Advanced Art

Fail, fail, fail

I’m a failure

Nothing more than a mistake

An accident, a surprise

I’m not supposed to be here

Or am I?

What’s my purpose in life?

Is it to fail like the ones around me,

Or is it to rise above the rest

And be my own person

What am I?

Who am I?

That question stays in my head,

Just waiting to be answered

Just like a prayer to the “higher power”

I don’t know if that question will ever be answered

So, here I sit in the dark

Sit, alone, afraid

Afraid of what I am

Afraid of what I could be

Afraid of what I’ll become

I don’t know who I will be

Or what I will become

But I do know who I am

And where I’m going

I will finish high school

I will go to college

I will have a happy life

And fulfill all my goals and dreams

No one can stop me

I will succeed

No one can tell me otherwise

I am Brianna Perrin

I am beautiful with more beauty within

I am not just what you see on the outside

I am more on the inside

I am shining, brighter than any star

I will go farther than any individual

To get to where I want to be

It doesn’t matter where I came from

Or who I was

Only thing that matters is

Where I’m going

And who I am now

Remember the saying

“Don’t judge a book by its’ cover”?

Well what you’re looking at is my cover

Read the story to understand me

I got a story to tell

And I’m going to tell it……
