If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

I think in poetry, and it can be hard to find a community that understands that, and furthermore welcomes it. I am a friend. I am a sister. I am a lover, and understand tragedy. I laugh too much. I cry too much. I am painfully optimistic. I give a great hug. I can say I love you to any human, plant, rock, animal, or anything at all, and mean it.
