I don’t know who I am
All I know is my own name
J U L I A N A
But what does that mean?
i. J for JUSTICE
because I’m always searching for justice from the people who mistreat me.
ii. U for UGLINESS
because deep down inside I am ugly.
I don’t know how to talk to people and express my emotions.
even if I have a pretty face I know that the way I act is so ugly it pushes people away.
iii. L for LONELINESS
because even if I have someone I care about I’m still lonely.
I feel so alone that sometimes I feel like I’m a ghost.
iiii. I for INSECURE
because even though I’m “model perfect” I still hate my body.
I hate that I’m so skinny people compare me to sticks and skeletons.
I hate that I will never look good in a bikini and that nobody looks at me and thinks, “hey,
she’s beautiful.”
v. A for ATTENTION SEEKER
because I’m always looking for people’s approval.
I hope that people come up to talk to me even though I’m shy
I try to get people to notice me because I feel like nobody ever does.
vi. N for NOTHING
because some days I feel like I’m nothing.
that I’m worthy of nothing and nobody.
that maybe I don’t deserve anyone because some days I’m empty as a blank piece of paper.
some days it’s hard to put the words down some days I just wish I was never a writer
I wish I was nothing.
vii. A for ADRIFT
because I’m always drifting trying to find who I am.
I’m on a boat called life trying to find my lost soul and piece together the
parts of myself that i’ve lost.
I don’t know who I am
All i know is my own name
J U L I A N A
But what does that mean?
