Things I am...

I am insecure,
I am curious,
I am cynical,
I am jaded,
and a bit naive.

I am pessimistic
and optimistic
from moment
to moment.

I cry tears when
I'm happy, and when
I'm sad. I growl
when I'm angry.

I am all too human,
and a little alien. Rain
when the sun is shining
makes me smile.

Most of all,
I am me.
Full of contradictions
and paradoxes.

I am an
open book
that is full
of half-kept secrets
and  a million things
I've never said aloud.
