Me

AKM

By Amanda McGuirePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Too much attention makes me uncomfortable.

Not enough attention makes me cold.

Genuine compliments are tough pills to swallow.

When I’ve only ever been spoon fed confidence crushing words.

Wanting a seat at the table.

But those people would rather I’d be seen and not heard.

A taste for the nicer, name brand, quality items.

But prefers to spend money on others, buying the cheaper items for myself.

Huggable, kind and caring.

Only truly comfortable with the touch of the man I love.

Scared to speak up for oneself.

Fiercely protective and an outspoken lion for others.

Big green eyes, freckles and bright red hair, a ginger by birth.

Inside a burning desire to paint it black, to hide in plain sight.

Most days looking in the mirror only seeing flaws.

But when he looks at me, I feel beautiful, I am in awe.

A natural leader is part of my personality.

Being in a position of authority scares me irrationally.

Learning who you are is complex.

Who you turn out to be is based on life and all of its effects.
