I Am
I am lazy
Ask me to run a mile, I'll run a millimeter under it
And smile prettily.
I am indecisive
I listen to others' opinions
And echo them softly to thunderstorms.
I am clingy
Constantly trying to find someone I know
So that I won't have to be bold and take initiative.
I am average
Nothing interesting in this body
Nothing brilliant in this mind.
I am lonely
And won't do a damn thing about it
Because I've assured myself that no one will understand.
I am layered
No two people see the same me
A prism of twists.
I am kind
I listen when people talk
And take the time to hear them.
I am smart
Absorbing like a sponge
Everything that’s thrown at me.
I am strong
Nudge and I'll move,
Shove and you hit a brick wall.
I am real
So deal with it
Because that’s what I do every day.
