Me In Acrostic

Just trying to stand out instead
Of fitting in. I despise
Dishonesty. I'm a part-time dreamer.
I'm a full-time legend (well, full-time mother).
Everything I do, is in consideration of others.

Wish I'd never fallen in love. Wish
I wasn't an emotional haemophilliac.
Luck has nothing to do with all I've achieved.
Loving you made me this strong, this weak.
I wish I had a slower metabolism,
Afterall, being size zero aint all that.
Melancholic, nostalgic, psychadelic.
Sometimes I get tired of living up to other people's expectations.

Jodie this is awesome! It "aint" easy to create an acrostic that is actually one complete thought instead of sentences full of descriptive words. Thanks for letting me get to know you!
