This is Me by Dionyae Mitchell I am happy and hurt I wonder if I actually help anyone I hear people laughing I see a happy family I want to be an artist I am happy and hurt I pretend I am famous I feel my aunt hugging me I touch her hands I worry I will lose everything I cry for things I can’t control I am happy and hurt
I understand I can’t do everything I say it will be ok I dream for a day without pain I try to keep a smile on my face I hope my dreams come true I am happy and hurt
