Outspoken.⁠
⁠
Yet extremely introverted.⁠
⁠
Expressed.⁠
⁠
Yet still hidden. ⁠
⁠
A funny, quirky, eccentric woman.⁠
⁠
While also, a serious, poetic contradiction.⁠
⁠
All me. ⁠
⁠
Expressed. ⁠
⁠
In human form.⁠
⁠
Showing the world just one side, isn’t self serving.⁠
⁠
Pretending I do not experience darkness isn’t correct. ⁠
⁠
Being all light and no darkness is lying.⁠
⁠
…⁠
⁠
I’m Jess.⁠
⁠
Complex in all her glorious forms.⁠
⁠
A warrior on the battlefield of my own mind. ⁠
⁠
Empowered by my wounds.⁠
⁠
Knowing that none of this makes me wrong. ⁠
⁠
Or makes me unloving.⁠
⁠
No word is the full definition of who I am. ⁠
⁠
Because I am many things.⁠
⁠
And for the first time.⁠
⁠
I’m totally ok with it.⁠
⁠
~ Jess
