Who am I

Michelle Villamin 1983 (Camiling Tarlac)



My eyes are brown with tears of hate
Lost my childhood and my faith
I am crossing the burden of my choices
Trauma and scars with so many voices
I plead for these echoes in the shadows to stop
Im seeing my reflection below me
I plead for them to quit invading my mind
Im face to face with self denial
Who am I?
I ask myself
Im having identity crisis
Hiding in different personalities
Am I real?
I want to know reality
So these cutting on my thigh that I hide is a part of me...
I don't want no pity but empathy
Rather feel physical pain than die emotionally
If my bruising memories defines my strength now to overcome obstacles
I remained humble and blessed
So who am I?
I am part of God's miracle...
