Favorite Quote:
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.<br /> <br /> -C. S. Lewis


I am shallow water
Do not jump or dive in
feel free to play with my emotions
but no splashing and do not swim

I am a fire hazard
don’t come any closer please
I fear the destruction I will cause
approach me with ease

I am a choking hazard
too big to swallow
do not attempt to change me.
instructions are as follows

I am broken glass
A heart waiting to be shattered
Do not step here, it’s not safe.
I’m invisible, damaged, scattered.

Most of them listened
But not you, oh not you
you came back  for me every time
determined to mend me too


The author's comments:

I'm a very open person. I don't make my mistakes secrets. I publicize what people should know before letting anyone close to me. It may not be what be what people want to hear but it's the truth. And there's nothing more important than the truth. As it says in the poem, there are a select few number of people who choose to stay. Those are the type of people who I'll never forget.
