Outside/Inside

On the outside, I am tall, smart, and shy.  Others notice I am a good listener and friend.

I can be seen taking pictures or writing.

I can be heard saying, “What!” or, “Freak!”

I have light brown hair and blue-brown eyes.

I spend a lot of time noticing things that others don’t seem to see.

You hopefully won’t ever see me angry.

On the inside I am anxious, curious, and alert.  I worry about the future and whether I’ll have enough time in my life to achieve all of my goals.

I am afraid of bees, what others think of me, and never falling in love.

I dream I will someday change lives.  I imagine myself as an all-knowing poet and a hero.

No one knows that I hate when I’m pressured and that I can get angry on the inside.  And if I had a wish it would be to get through to someone who has been given up on by everyone else.
