Introspection Do you know you? The person hidden behind your laughter and smiles. Behind the education and adulations. That version, a very few has witnessed. I mean, the real complex and complicated. At your worst , you would walk into different room just to avoid you. Or are you perfect? Nothing bothers. Nothing triggers. You bake cookies and chase rainbows. No secrets to guard. No traumas buried. I am perfectly flawed. Human version of a teeter totter. Searching for that one thing that tips my scale. Waiting to shed tears at my own happy ending. To tired to pretend that I am perfectly strong. I have been ravaged then pasted back together. Became a savage to protect my weaknesses. Somehow found my peace while lost in the wilderness. There be days...moments...windows... To self destruct my harmony. Thankfully I know me..I catch me...I refocus...me. I make me laugh. Calm me down. Remind me...how long it took to get...here. It such a powerful thing. When you know you. Peace
