Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
I wrote this a few years ago about myself.

This is Me

by Madison Oswalt

Another one, gone.
It always goes wrong,
But, it's not my fault?

I've been left before,
Over and over,
Why am I not enough; or am I too much?

I've been silenced for so long,
So I make you hear me.
I'm in front of you, but invisible,
So I make you see me.

I've been forgotten before,
So I make you remember I'm here.
I've been ignored so much,
You can't ignore me now; I'm too loud.

This is me,
I overthink, over love, over feel, and over stress.
My mind is always going,
I'm always awake; even when I'm asleep.

This is me,
I've been silent for so long,
But no more, because I am me.

I'm not a liar,
But if I don't figure this out,
Then I'll be lying to myself,
And, that's NOT ME.
