It's Not All Bad
Qualities and virtues.
Qualities and virtues of my own.
To be honest I don’t think that much of myself;
Some people seem to differ.
I can write,
I’ve won every writing contest I’ve entered.
I love to sing,
I don’t quite like my voice,
But people seem to think it’s pleasant.
I’m trustworthy,
You can trust in me,
And I’ll guard my secrets
With all of me.
I love to draw,
Sketch mostly,
And although they aren’t gallery exhibit worth it,
They are my autobiography.
I love to dance,
And although I feel I’ve lost that gift,
You can say I’ve still got some rhythm.
The only thing I pride myself on is being a good friend.
I will care,
Fight,
Listen,
Do anything for you,
And most times won’t expect anything in return.
I like helping others,
You could say it’s one of my passions.
Charitable work makes me feel like I’m giving,
Just a little,
Back to the world.
I’m kind and gentle,
When it pleases me of course.
When I want to,
Or feel safe.
I’m honest,
Sometimes too honest,
Brutally honest.
But I don’t enjoy lying and hurting anyone on purpose,
Specially those I love;
Not anymore.
I honest to God love caring for others,
My puppies are a huge example of how I do think of others.
They make me think that deep inside me I am capable of love.
Maybe I will do alright,
I am not an angel,
Nor a demon.
I just am,
And I hope thats's enough.
