I am intelligent, hardworking, capable…
But, I am also sometimes a bit of an airhead, lazy, and incredibly needy.
I am level-headed, kind, and empathetic…
And yet, sometimes I make poor decisions, am mean-spirited, and cold.
I can be incredibly insightful as to my own feelings, thoughts, emotions,
and yet, sometimes I lose sight of the forest for the trees.
I desire to be unlocked from the chains of grief and depression,
only to feel the weight of the chains you restrain me to the bed with.
I am beautiful in your eyes,
But like many, see a different image in the mirror.
I long to experience peace in my emotions,
and yet, I let chaos in time and again.
I long to be free,
yet more than anything, I want to submit to your control.
All these descriptors, all accurate to some degree,
But yet, I find myself still asking, is that really me?
Who am I?
Thank you for stopping by 🙂
Love, nora

I love this. I sometimes find myself circling back around to that question and pondering it. It’s almost like peeling back layers. What is a product of your individuality or what has been developed through exposure to the life around you?
