I'm the girl.

I'm the girl who happens to be a minority.

I'm the girl who happens to be the last child of the offspring.

I'm the girl who happens to be the only child in the family left.

I'm the girl who happens to also be 16.

I'm the girl who happens to be the last kid in high school in my family.

I'm the girl who happens to embody her whole family.

I'm the girl who happens to have two older sisters who are twice my age.

I'm the girl who happens to be driven just like my older sisters.

I'm the girl who happens to now mock my sisters' driven force, but exceed that force.

I'm the girl who now happens to have certain expectations placed because of my sisters' driven force.

I'm the girl who can't even function anymore because of those driven expectations.

I'm the girl who happens to try to be calm, but can't seem collected simultaneously.

I'm the girl who happens to not have a social life because of these driven expectations.

And now, I'm still a girl.

With all the same attributions, but who now lives ambigiously frozen until I can figure out what to do with myself.

I'm that girl.
