(currently a work in progress)
I am an enigma.
A contradiction in terms.
I am two extremes who've met in the middle, and split apart.
I am the calm before my storm.
I am my own best friend, and my own worst enemy.
I am my own healer, and also my own personal hell.
Only I can make me, or break me.
I am the wizened crone, in the mind of the maiden.
I am a brilliant star in a dark universe.
I am a comedian in a world that hates to laugh.
I am the caring nurse that forgets self care.
I am the prophet who sees the future in the past.
I am the voice of words already spoken.
I am the poet of things yet thought.
I smile through tears..
I cry with joy.
I fix all the others while falling apart.
I am everything no one else is, was, or ever will be.
Wore out and broken, but built better every day.
I am the student teacher..I am here to learn what I already know and teach what I'm learning.
I am an enigma.
But then, so are you.
