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.
