Listen up,
Because I won't say it twice.
I suggest you hear me out,
Though I won't promise that this will be
"Nice".

I'm an open book,
My heart on my sleeve,
But I'm opinionated and fiery,
Take it or leave.

I don't get walked on,
Without repercussions,
That's it, sorry sweetheart,
End of discussion.

And I'm sweet, yeah, okay.
But I'm the kind of person people search for,
I'm one of a kind,
You won't find any more.

And I'm loving,
I'm kind,
But there are dark things
You should pay mind.

Cracking knuckles
And bark from trees,
I'm no angel,
Don't think I am, please.

It's taken me a long time
To have enough self worth
To remain here happily
On earth,

But let's make it simple,
Let me make myself clear,
You can't break me--
I'm the strongest monster here.
My therapist wanted me to write something positive about myself.

It might be a little too arrogant. Oops.
