A Glimpse

Never will I have a flawless body Or be a beauty queen I am just who I am What you get is what you've seen I eat when I am bored I get jealous as easily as hell If you ask me to dispense my secrets I might not be quick to tell I am sensitive beyond measure Even though, I keep plenty in I conceal most of my anger I'm not the devil but I do sin Sometimes I get neglectful I know how to make a mess But if you ask me to be great I'll give you nothing less I hate to be alone Nightmares get me when awake Sometimes making it through the day alive Is more than I can take I am deeply serious Yet, I do know how to have fun I'll procrastinate like crazy If important, I'll get it done I believe in God and heaven I've played with death multitude times I hide behind numberless masks Caught in a play without the lines I love to think of you A calm spirit in a chaotic universe My life has changed within meeting you My heart beats to a broken verse I don't handle rejection Even if it is real or in my head I am beyond gullible then you can imagine Many lies I have been feed I have the worst mood swings I change in the blink of an eye One moment I am happy, the next sad I hate it when I can't cry My strongest fear is abandonment Therefore, when people get close, I push them away All I ask is for you to have patience The light will come within the day I will always give 100% It is the best that I can do In life as well as my heart I am a woman who loves you

OMG...This describes me a lot. Are you by any chance vegetarian? Everyone tells me it's the fiber that cranks me. So I started trying to eat fish but it's slow going, don't like the texture. LOL!
