I'm not skinny.
     I own that.
I'm not outgoing.
       I know that.
I'm not always right.
      I can see that.
I don't always say what I mean.
         I'm sorry.
I apologize for everything. If I could I'd apologize for the world itself.
      Someone has to right?
People always see me differently than how I truly am.
      That's mostly my fault, I don't want you to see my scars, my hideous thoughts or behaviors.

I'm never taken seriously.
   I like being under estimated.
I feel more pain, than I'll ever let anyone see.
    I don't believe in sharing pain. At least not really.
I'm afraid to let people close.
     Who isn't.

I don't always wear pretty clothing.
      I like being comfortable.
I rarely use makeup.
    I don't need it. Truly.

I like the quiet.
     I'm a reader and a writer. I don't say much. But I love listening.
'Fake it till you make it' is and always had been what I live by.
      I usually come out better equipped to handle things by doing that.
I'll probably only ever love one man.
    I'm not picky, I just know what I like, and how I am.
My love is like my loyalty, friendship, and trust, it's binding.
      Break it, and I'll never forget or forgive.
I love truly and fully for as long as I can.
    I wish I could tell someone everything.
             I...
