"Who are you?"
A question with a million answers.

I'm the cheering captain.
I've been the head flyer for the past two years at states.
My parents fight every night.
Dad is always drunk.
Mom is a cheater.

I'm an emo.
Perfect parents.
Huge house.
I hate myself,
who I've become,
what I do to myself.

I'm an alcoholic.
Drink my pain away.
Mother left.
Father died when I was seventeen.
The only person who ever cared about me, my brother,
died in a car crash last spring.

I'm the star quarterback.
Threw the touchdown to win the last playoff game.
I've been using heroin every weekend.
Grades are going down.
I pass because of my position on the team.

I'm not who everyone believes I am.
I have problems.
I have secrets.
I hide myself.

The answer to your question is,
I'm me.
Who are you?
