Who Am I

Who am I? 
Am i the annoying kid brother that just always seems to be around 
Am i the 3.0 student that the administration can't stop bragging about 
Am i the looner that sits in his room just for the sake of being alone 
Am i the kid who always wants to fix a problem but cant even fix his own 
Am i the friend that always knows just what to say 
Am i the first person the finger points at when drama hits each day 
Am i the little freshman that doesnt even know his place 
Am i the dark desperate depressed soul who bares a smiling face 
Am i the talk a big game but never show up at crunch time kinda guy 
Am i the will say, do, or think of anything to get out of a lie 
Am i the tag along friend that never wants to take the lead 
Am i the deeply lodged emotional secrets everyone carries bleeding through so as to let our dreams breathe 
Am i the procrastinationg teen who is forlonging growing up 
Am i the dark demented demon on your shoulder telling you not to give a fuck 
Am i the future of a legacy burdened to take the tourch 
Am i the 15 year old who would rather just chill with his boys on the porch 
Am i the role model that those little kids run to at my job 
Am i the silent killer who stands in the back but has the most control over the mob 
Am i the grown man that my father never was 
Am i the same old nigga standin on the corner of Climax and Haberman yellin out Cuz! 
Am i the sensitive carful gentleman thought to be by ex girls 
Am i, as my parents told me from birth, the next great thing in this world 
Am i the Schenley grad just trying to make his school proud 
Am i the the poet i feel i am in my heart but can't bring myself to say it outloud 
Who am I? Maybe i will never know the truth, much like knowing true love 
But to everyone else im sure your definition of me is listed above 
I don't know who i am but for some reason everyone has an opinion 
Tell me how the hell can you classify me without my personal consultation 
I don't know who i am and i'm sick and tired of trying to find out 
So for now i am who you say i am, but please dont let your opinions mount........
