She is a mess of contradictions
"Opposites attract" written into her soul

When she speaks and her words come out skewed
She bites her tongue as if taming that rogue machine would stop the embarrassment
Then she usually laughs, because she's learned that it doesn't pay to stay serious

On occasion, she forgets and throws too many thoughts into a poem
But she to runs to her Father and is renewed

Her heart is not weak, but it can be fragile
She refuses to give up on those she loves
And she knows how to hold someone's hurting hand

It's not always easy, the way she tries so hard
Sometimes she begins to bend over backwards - in pain
But she's learning to walk with her head held high

She has music woven around the corner of her eye
Precious and imperfect

It's okay that she doesn't make sense
Messy and indescribable

Her smile will always continue to light the world
Beautiful and beautiful
This piece means embracing yourself and believing you are worthy of the love that you so freely give others.

    I love the last line! And the one about her Father, it's so reassuring and happy.
    Replying: Yeah, I might consider publishing...mostly the stories are just a bunch of short snippets of some plot I don't really have planned out. I guess if I get enough of them I could just turn them into chapters.

    beautiful. Honestly Anne,I will never stop hyping up how talented you are.You are truly inspirational. And this might sound cheesy but I feel like your poems speak to me and touch something in my heart that I don't really know.Maybe its because I relate to you so much.I never thought I would cry after reading a poem but I'm crying now and I don't know why.

    I loved it so much. It gives a sense of relief......I don't have a word to describe but like a sense of....fulfilment or..happiness. Great job!
