I am defined. By all who comes my way. By my friends. By my foes. By my family. By you.

Call me strict and suddenly that’s all that I am. Call me lazy and that is all you see.

Said I’m self absorbed and an arrogant brat I become.

You needed a trustworthy leader, I became that too.

A blank piece of paper I was and you, the artist, the author. You painted and drawn, adding medium after medium, erasing and touching up until I became a version you wanted. An accidental flaw you would not take, and erase your work into remake.

At some point, this blank piece of paper became soft and easy to tear. So you flip to a new page, and left me useless and bare.

When my body starts to feel as though it’s about to get sick :

*alarms ringing in every direction*

*scrambled thoughts*

* feels like puking at every given chance*

*continuous headache*

*fuck sinus*

“The heart doesn’t care how long you may have with someone.” Kieran looked over at me, his eyes sheltered. “It just cares that you have the person for as long as you can.”
