You may not know me You may know me a little more than you'd like Sometimes even I do A few things upon first meeting You will notice I have intense eye contact I laugh easily I was aptly named, babbling You will walk away thinking Smiling softly to yourself "That girl channels joy." I hope to leave every life I touch that way, full of hope Come soak up the remains You may never have to know of the scars beneath I do my best to hide them Often failing Pleasure is universal Spread the love But pain...pain is private My ***** laundry Perhaps I never learned how to numb it **Pain is only relevant if it still hurts
