A poem from chicken soup for the teenage soul--on tough stuff

I found this poem and I really liked it, so I thought I'd
post it here.

I Am

I am a poet writing of my pain
I am a person living a life of shame.
I am your daughter hiding my depression.
I am your sister making a good impression.
I am a friend acting like I'm fine.
I am a wisher, wishing my life weren't mine
I am a girl who thinks of suicide.
I am a teenager pushing her tears aside.
I am a student who doesn't have a clue
I am the girl sitting next to you.
I am the one asking you to care
I am your best friend hoping you'll be there
