This is who I am.

By Anybody_Killette

I'm a dreamer, a hopeless romantic,
and the stars are my best friends.
I have nothing to say,
but everything to say all at once.
When I do speak,
I don't care who,
around me, it hurts.
I'm rude, hateful, and unorthodox.
I'm not apathetic,
but my face seems to be.
I don't care what you think of me,
and most likely don't care what you have to say.
The few people I do want in my life are already there.
I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
It takes a strong person to get my attention,
and an even stronger person to hold it.
Art, traveling, and poetry
are my main passions in life.
I'm a sucker for animals and children.
Politics, close-mindedness, drama, and stupidity
are not in my dictionary.
Everything is "black and white" to me.
There is no "grey".
I'm unstable, and long for stability,
but the thought frightens me.
I never stop trying,
and if I want something bad enough,
I won't give up until it is in my grasp.
I have a bad memory,
which makes me exceptional at keeping secrets.
I'm deathly afraid of The Easter Bunny
and spiders.
You'll never understand me,
and I would never expect you to.

    there are parts here that make me cringe, and parts that make me chuckle, and the whole "close-mindedness" not being in your dictionary, followed by everything being "black and white" is a fair turn of mind bending! We may never understand you, as you state, but we sure enjoy the glimpse you've given.
