Forgotten Poem

I'm lazy
I'm dramatic
I'm cigarette smoking machine
I overeat
And I oversleep
I'm tired
I'm usually a perfectionist
And now I'm going to see
What I've done
My every mistake
Either make me better or worse
Who knows what will be my fate
I'm greedy
I'm materialistic
I'm not perfect
Neither do I claim to be
You love me
You don't like me
You know nothing about me
Only what you want to see
I hope that one you cope 
With your expectations of others
I didn't ask for fame or notoriety
I only chose to help and give back
Hopefully stay productive and inspired
I perspired
I've cried 
I've weeped
I've bared my soul
I've given you plenty
That want enough for you 
I've over plucked my eyebrows
Cut off my lashes
Drank gasoline
Even got into a domestic dispute
That I wasn't responsible for or guilty
I've done so much 
So much more
And telling you this right now 
Feels like a chore
I have been an escort
A stripper
A retail sales junkie
A waiter
A rent boy
A photographer
Filter junkie
And star and a model
A makeup artist
And a overweight weak coughing
And snivelling person
And plotted to extreme
How to live and die by my own hands 
When I needed help
I went 
And got it
I worked for everything I own
But you must have forgotten
As you will me
And I expect this
You don't know me now
And you won't know me then
But atleast I will be at peace
If God allows it
