Self-Portrait

A comforting shoulder to rest upon; 
to absorb the trickle of sadness. 
Encouraging words to ease your struggles; 
a loyal friend you will have in me. 
 
I will get you to smile 
forming a tickle in your chest. 
Releasing a soft chuckle; 
causing the laughter to explode. 
 
I see the good qualities in everyone I meet 
in addition, never ignore what I see beneath. 
I do not judge on one's appearance 
for each imperfection has a story. 
 
I must admit that I am a perfectionist 
rewarding at times, but also frustrating. 
My passions are to draw and pen my words 
getting lost in creative stimulant.
