He Is What I Am Not


 

He is talkative

I am quiet

 

He is brave

I am a coward

 

He is calm

I am anxious.

 

He is my rock

I am not myself without Him

 

He is my helper

I am judged without Him

 

He is my right hand,

I am lost without Him

 

my left hand,

I am scared without Him

 

my heart.

I am weak without Him.

 

He is everything I want to be

I like His words

 

He is comfortable

I like His actions

 

at parties,

I like His protection

 

at meetings,

I like His anxiety-free mind

 

in class,

I like His confidence

 

during class change.

I love Him.

 

He is the one person

I cannot be without.
