Who are you, really?

I am currently having a bit of an identity crisis, and I don't know who I'm supposed to be.

Anyway that's not your problem, but it is the cause of this contest:
I want to hear of your struggles to be who you are today, who you used to be, or who you wish you were. In any case, I want to hear that I'm not the only one who isn't sure of there place in the world.

Ok, Rules:
1. Little or no swearing- no F*** this, F*** that or you will be DQ'd. (besides swearing really takes away from the poem itself)
2. NoNe Of ThIs- or you will be DQ'd
3. You must comment on at least one other poem (not your own)
4. Please don't make it too long, length is okay, but taking it to the extreme is a little overrated, and I won't have time to comment them all. Keep it below 150 lines, any longer and you will be DQ'd

Ok, now that that's covered, Get writing, and enjoy!
