I feel things deeply.
The unknown scares me, and writing is where I am the bravest.
I work hard. I play hard.
Show me loyalty, and I'll never share your story with a soul.
I crave love, but I refuse to change for it.
I recognize my weaknesses, and I battle with them everyday.
Give me compassion and support, and I'll never turn my back on you.
I have organization down to a science.
I can sense when I'm in the "good ol' days,"
and I can feel as the moments slip through my fingers.
When I'm happy,
you'll know.
When I'm not,
you'll still think I'm fine.
So, I stand here, looking into the mirror
my heart whispers "you are beautiful" and my mind shouts "be strong,"
all I ask
is please be gentle, be kind.
I am building my armor, and I'd love to help you build yours.
Knock me down, and though it may be slow,
I'll brush myself off.
I'll get right back up.
