Random Thoughts of Me
by Christel CrewsAmerican blood runs through my veins
I proudly own my heritage, its ups and downs alike
Short in stature, but tall in faith
Pessimism is the default,
Optimism is the goal
Rain makes me sigh with a smile across my face
Simple natured mixed with feminine complexity
Obsessive compulsive- to a certain degree
Type A: Perfection required especially of me
Independently submissive
Flirtatious in a good mood,
Cynical 99.9 percent of the time
The wallflower in a crowd
Concerned with my appearance, fitness, and health
Tears remind that I am alive
Stars tell me I am not alone
Would rather feel pain than nothing at all
When all else fails, sleep never will
I desire love more than life itself
This is me... 07/02/2004
Author's Note: self-explanatory, i hope... i think everyone should try to describe themselves while limiting words and whatnot -- this was for an assignment for school, but i figured i could post it here as well...

Nicely done. |
