Who am I? 
I stare at myself in the mirror and ask this question in my head. 
I consider what people will say all about me when I'm dead. 
Who am I?
Have I made a lasting impression, have I left my mark on the world? 
Or will I simply be remembered as just that sweet blonde girl? 
Who am I? 
I don't really have too many friends, I can count them on one hand. 
I'm different from the rest of them - I'd like to be someone on which they can depend. 
But who am I? 
What do I want to do in my life? 
My goals are so far-fetched, thinking about them causes strife. 
Who am I? 
I barely have a penny to my name after payday comes. 
Is that all I am to everyone, a bundle of money in one lump sum?
Who am I? 
Who am I to believe that I am special in this galaxy? 
Most times I feel as if my life is just a horrible fallacy. 
Who am I?
I feel as if the title says it all. 
Who am I? Will I ever be happy with what I see when I looks not a mirror?

...Do you know what this poem is? It's the bad side of the life of an artist in a nutshell. Even though your worries have to do with your life in general, these are questions that all artists are bothered by at some point. I'll have to ask them for myself sooner or later. However, whether this is about your art or your life, the answer is the same; no matter what, KEEP TRYING. The goals that you have, they may seem out of reach right now, but the more you try, and the more you wish to reach them, the sooner they will come in your way. Eventually, you'll do something amazing that you'll be remembered for, if that is what you want. The key is to keep wanting it, and to keep reaching for it. I know I that this is coming from a 16 year old who doesn't know jack about the world yet, but trust me. Grab life by the horns, while you still can :)
