I                   Am                                                      Mean That's what I tell myself when something goes wrong. It's the gum under my shoe that sticks to my brain, clogging my throat so I can't choke it o u t . I am mean, but what does mean actually m e a n ? I guess I was never really taught, so now it's defined by my flaws. And now my flaws define me. I am my mental health. I am my trauma. I.                                     Am.                                Mean. My actions morph into my mind, These thoughts that are no longer mine. I am the problem. I.                Am.                                       Mean.
