I think I'm lost.
Actually, I think I always have been.
My entire life I have spent being a person for everyone;
Each a different version of who they all wanted me to be.
A good friend,
A perfect daughter,
The best student.
And finally, after all these years,
It's taken a toll on me.
I don't know who I am anymore.
I've hit so many wrong bumps
I'm afraid that there will never be any rights.
I've been walking on eggshells,
Yet I never noticed until now.
How will I know who I truly am if I keep trying to please everybody I encounter?
I won't.
So who am I?
I guess I'm going to find out.

I relate to this so much, and I think a lot of other people will too. I'm still not sure when I'll start to be a person for myself and not for others. Thank you for writing this.
