She
She writes
To keep her conscience clear.
To capture every floating thought, feeling, and idea.
She analyzes
To find something more complex out of simplicity.
To take something right and find its wrong.
She listens
To lyrics that make her think.
To music that keeps her sane.
She guards
Her heart from feeling greatful pain.
To keep her safe.
She smiles
At life's wonderful imperfections,
Seeing the joy and happiness in something that is unique.
Finally
She lives
Gracefully yet a little turbulent.
Fearfully yet carefree.
She is who she is.
She is me.
