I am confused and utterly lost
I wonder who I am and where I'm going...what I'll do and how I do it
I hear words and wonder if they are true; I hear a question and try to answer
I see before me a blurry path, one that's unsure; yet I choose to go on
I want to be someone that helps someone else and someone who can make a difference
I am confident and have my mind made up
I am strong, persistent, and motivated
I pretend I am happy when I am sad; pretend I am content, though I'm not
I feel responsible for those around me, guilty when I fail, and that I want so much more than what I'm given
I touch those around me with a gentle concern, considerate thought, or intellectual advice
I worry about my mother, my cat, my friends, my future, and my world I cry at old movies that have unhappy endings...where the boy doesn't get the girl
I am weak, emotional, and alone
I am nothing...nothing at all
I understand no one except myself, but have my own concept of the world around me
I say some things I wish I never said and kept others silent when I should have spoken
I dream of happy endings where every maiden gets her prince and everyone lives happily ever after
I try to be perfect, but it never quite works; I try my best and know it can be better
I hope one day my dreams come true, and I can honestly say
I am everything...everything I ever wanted to be
Pamela Karr, 1995

I like this one so much it is hard to say anything about it. It's a good mirror for you, very natural and true of the human experience.
