Who am I
I am a vessel for my thoughts
I fell, hear, see, taste and touch
I am a being bursting with memories, hopes and dreams
I have been deeply hurt by others
I have been mistreated and used
I have known pain, pleasure, love and happiness
I am strong yet weak
I am stubborn yet yeilding
I am careing and devoted
I have flet great pain
Both emotional and physical
As a child and as I am now
I seek happiness but have only found loneliness
My past has guided me to where I am today, for
I have fled from abuse and neglect
I have been an unwitting doll to others sick pleasures
I have danced with death
Yet have seen the sunrise
I have known true love and lost it
I have sat on the edge of madness
And resisted the urges to jump
Who am I?
I am Sarah
I am master of my own destiny
Who am I?
I am Sarah

Everyone is seeking happiness. In fact, Aristotle speaks of doing everything in life in order to help one achieve happiness. In "The Nicomachean Ethics," "Book 1 - The Good For Man," section 1, Aristotle states, "Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and pursuit, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim." Now if you are to read book 1, sections 6 and 7 you would learn that the good is defined as happiness. Sorry about getting sidetracked with philisophical ideas, but that's what ran through my head when I read the first part of that line.
And now to rant about the second part of that line: I think that most everyone has felt that way at some point in time. I myself have felt that way many times.

You too? It's an interesting edge... Kind of nice if you get to know it... Never knowing if you're going to jump or not... what happens if you do? What happens if you don't? Questions, questions, and more questions... They all go through one's head while one's sitting there trying to use a clouded mind to ponder accurate answers to questions which have none... Sorry, I'll quit this line of thought now...
I hope you have not sat on that edge often enough to have it become fimiliar territory.

I like it. You are clearly defining who you are in all aspects, and then narrowing it down to just your name.
I like how this ending puts so much force and meaning into you being who you are. I felt that put you in control of who you are, in a "This is who I am! GGGRRRR!" sort of way, or at least makes it seem like you're content with being who you are. Nice work!

I'm a 22 yr old college student. Some of my friends from high school are graduating this year. Not me, I've struggled with the next step for my life for years. I feel on track now, but how long will this last?

If I had the words to vanquish your sorrow, believe me, I would. If I could tell you exactly what to do with your life to make you happy and fruitful, it'd be done.

But you never know what tomorrow holds until you get there.....
