What is wrong with me? Isn't this summer? Aren't I supposed to be having fun and enjoy the time off from school? No, insted I'm locked away in my house on a perpetual babysitting job, feeling...unimportant. I feel forgotten somehow, unloved in someway and it isn't my low self-esteem who's telling me I don't deserve to be loved or anything...it's a real stab in the middle of my chest. It's deep emptiness who engulfes me every night before sleep. Daydreaming and fantasies might get you so far, but in the end, it's still the real world out here. I think I'm not satisfied with myself because I'm not truly muself. There's so much I'd like to say, much I'd like to do and be out there, being real...but I can't afford what it takes, what it means, what it represents, what is true. This isn't about the world and me anymore. This isn't about me and pride and predjudice. This is about being who I have to be, who I should be, to the fullest: myself. But I'm scared and my mind is racing on so many ideas, but I'm still affraid. Affraid of what might happen, affraid for my future, afraid I won't be setting a good example... I wish I could scream out the truth, but it would compromise what I beleive in. Compromise who I should be, and how I should act, and what I should do. Peer pressure isn't pushing me towards these ideas. I am. And I realise that being myself is who I should, and have to, be. But I couldn't handle the consequences it would imply... So we're back to square one: what is wrong with me? I know what's wrong with me. I'm just not sure it's wrong to begin with.
