I Am

I am a turtle, who finds comfort in its own shell. I am a groundhog, scared of its own shadow. I am the abandoned house at the end of your street, empty on the inside. I am an unfinished book, hoping for a good ending. I am misery reaching my hand out for company. I am the skinniest tree in the forest crying out for sunlight. I am a lost sock on the side of the street waiting for someone to find me. I am hidden treasure, waiting for someone to claim me. I am defeat and love, passion and heartache, disgrace and hope. I am things yet to be discovered, I am a girl waiting to be loved, I am me, all of these hings and more but you wouldn't know...
