Tania Kitchin Poet Verse

Who I Am

              I am thoughtful,
        but can be oversensitive.
      I enjoy people and all animals,
        and love my family.
  Sometimes my feelings are raw and easily hurt,
  I'm a survivor of domestic violence.
    I try to focus on the good,
  and the positive things life has to offer me.

              To persevere, 
        I need to stay calm and focused.
      And push through the weight of anxiety.
        Not let my emotions -
  take control of my spirit, life and well-being.
  Exercise helps to keep me calmer and balanced,
    and enjoying humor daily.
  I am a work in progress and strive to succeed.

Kim Rodrigues November 23, 2024 at 9:19 AM I’ve had to work on oversensitivity and going on and on about something. I’ve never suffered domestic violence and have great compassion for you. From your words I can tell that you are a very caring person to both people and animals. Very nice! Hugs ~ Kim Tania Kitchin November 23, 2024 at 11:50 AM Kim, thank you.
