Me
I am selfish.
But being selfish could save my life.
I have panic attacks.
But they could save me from something dangerous.
I am jealous sometimes.
But jealousy can be good for you.
I am lonely.
But that means I have more time to focus on me.
I am shy.
But that means the people I do trust, I trust a lot.
I am competitive.
But being competitive means I learn to win and lose.
I am quiet.
But that means I have to fight more for my voice to be heard.
I dream about things that will probably never happen.
But that means I have a bright future ahead of me.
I don’t like to show emotions.
But if I show emotions in front of you, I really trust and love you.
I prefer playing with babies than other kids my age.
But that means little kids adore me.
I am all of these things.
But then again, that’s just who I am.
