I’m not as well read as I want to be.
I find it hard to finish a few words to Leo Tolstoy’s sublime pieces,
and sometimes I stare cluelessly at Gerard’s perfectly written sonnets -
And beat myself up, because I'm not as well read as I want to be.
I’m an overthinker, I possess a quiet anger and I’m hard lover -
Because sometimes I find it hard to let go.
But I let go.
I'm a sometime person -
Not sure if its a major flaw especially in this “sometime” world we live in -
But during this time I'm trying to find my own identity.
I'm a jar full of stories, I have the best ones for any occasion.
I'm a nervous wreck around strangers, but I'm the goofiest gump when I settle in.
I'm a rock star at heart, but I’m quite fluent in playing the part of people’s expectations of me.
Sure, I fail almost every time and that’s why people leave.
Now...now I write. I want to be a writer - a damn good one.
But right now I'm inspired by procrastination and my greatest artform are the completely blank pages that are still unfinished.
I am not afraid of anything anymore, I found acceptance in all the right places.
Still, I’m a lonely loner, but I'm the first person to hear a secret.
Because I keep them.
I’m colorful, maybe a little too different for others to understand
But I remind myself that I'm probably everything someone is too afraid to be.
