For Myself

i have this really bad habit. i’m kind of like a crazed rabbit, hopping between passions and desperately seeking ardency. i have this really bad habit. i hold myself back, fear letting myself be seen because i’ll never be able to heal from the inevitable sting that comes from being kicked in the teeth from reality. i have this really bad habit. when i reach out, heart blinded by wide-eyed sincerity and hands open to receive any grief, i’m met with a ‘no, thank you’ ‘i can’t ruin you’ ‘this will break you’ ‘you couldn’t possibly understand’ I had these really bad habits. But, I think, I finally understand. I may carry my heart on my sleeve, Pursue big dreams that may seem too demanding, Lead with little experience, But I am doing everything to stay true to me. A version of me that you may not appreciate But that’s okay, Because this is for myself. @authorkaylynn
