Who am I? **A beginner's guide to understanding the complicated failure that is me :)**A Story by Patricia HernandezHere is my first entry... if you for some odd reason care, then check out this 'thing'. Click and see, you might relate (to me) in some way :)Who am I but a lost
wanderer in the world. I occupy the space of someone, someone who could add
much more to the world than I ever will. But instead I was born. Why, I wonder,
is there a purpose to my existence? Will I be a national hero or a loving wife? I smile a lot, sometimes I even
believe myself to be perfectly happy. That is something that I thank the world
for; I seem to be internally happy, even in the midst of chaos. I am a wreck,
and I know that nobody will love me. At least not for a long time. I am
insecure and for that I damn the world. Who am i? I wonder if I am beautiful,
but beauty is tied to perception. I find inner beauty to overwrite your
appearance. But i feel rotten inside, does that then make me wretched? What am
I? I am not one thing but many. I am from a s**t, to a weirdo, to a b***h, to a
loser. I am many things; I like to pretend that I am beautiful, smart, and
worthy. I like to think that but i sometimes don't. I want to be worthy, worthy
of somebody's love. Worthy of feeling loved. My mind is so vast that it
becomes a burden to myself. I can dream complicated ideas and generate
impressive arguments. By the age of 10 I was placed in the sixth grade. Just as
my mind becomes a burden for my body, my body becomes a burden for my mind. My
head acts in ways that are not fitting for my age. By the age of 14 I already
want to discuss tactics with politicians and help those who are less fortunate
than me. By the age of 14 I feel 19, but my body proves otherwise. My body a
physical impediment that restricts me from traveling across the world. My mind
has an impressive skill, it takes over my heart. And I've been surviving my
life with my head overwriting my heart. With my love being my cat and my friend
becoming my sister, I am seen as 'sad'. But I sort of want to confront the
world, and tell them that I am, overall, content. The fact is that my solitude serves me in the growing of my mind but deteriorates my heart. It is
unfortunate that the world is against me. Instead of floating, the water
forcibly sinks me. Instead of flying, I fall flat on my face. What is wrong
with the universe that it is regretful of my existence? But I've come to terms
with it, because I am regretful too. And the worst part is that even though I
have an extensive mind, my heart just happens to be double as large. And my
heart has been stripped of its innocence and has been pushed towards
loneliness. So I ask again, who am i? I am but a broken heart away from my
inner disintegration. What am I? I am merely a body that has been possessed by
the wrong soul. By a soul that searches to escape my body to arrive at heaven's
gates. I am both a strong and a weak person. But most of all I am
flaw-full. I am the definition of both a failure and a success. I am on
the verge of life and death. I am but a lost wanderer, searching for a light to
guide me, for I am surrounded by a perpetual darkness. © 2014 Patricia HernandezAuthor's Note
