I Am

I Am

I am ignorant,
but I can learn.
I am open-minded,
but it's your turn.
I am alone,
but I have hope.
I am searching,
but you can't cope.
I am artistic,
but I can't see.
I am depressed
but you hate me.
I am outgoing,
but I am shy.
I am afraid,
but you don't try.
I am an Atheist,
but I believe.
I am negative,
but you just leave.
I am searching,
but I am here.
I am a pessimist,
but you still fear.
I am struggling,
but you're not there.
I am here for you,
but you obviously don't care.

--Daryl Molen
