today someone told me,
that I'm one tough cookie,
but here's the thing.
I think I'm the kind
of tough cookie
not many favour;
the oatmeal raisin kind,
not very sweet,
often bland and stale,
even hard to bite into.
I wish I'm a soft cookie,
the one doughy in the middle,
because being soft
makes you wanted.
I'm the kind where
people don't willingly
stick their hand inside
the cookie jar;
because
this tough cookie
isn't even worth
it to grab.
