137. How I Would Describe Me

People often say to me “What can you tell me about yourself” guess it’s my duty to explain to them and so I look them in the face and reply My eyes are deep like two tiny oceans just be careful you don’t drown in them you’ll never reach the bottom and there’s not a beach in sight My arms and legs are a library ruined by several scars each one tells its own story of how it came to be but none can be bothered to read it My mind is a battle field full of the tangled wreckage of ancient conflicts parts of it are like covered with mines each one a painful memory every now and then a fresh war will start bringing new carnage and suffering the remains they leave are left to rot in the sun only to be consigned to the past My personality is a broadsword razor sharp and straight to the point it only can be wielded by me the blade is often glowing letting you know how genuine I am My honesty is a radiant beacon shining like a miniature sun it helps my truth stay pure through this life never dimming or even going out My truth is a shotgun let me give you both barrels a useful weapon in this life of deception because I have no space for lies or cheating no bull trash will ever stand in for it My patience is a tranquil lake surrounded by many beautiful trees every tree is in full bloom in a variety of colours yet when the leaves and petals fall they make not even a ripple on the water there's always time in this peaceful place and none of it can be wasted by those who deserve it Yet my temper is a volcano often smoking as a warning to others sometimes it will blow its top for a while but its often short lived unless the lava runs in which case be somewhere else My happiness is a meadow on a summer’s day full of millions of flowers each one living in harmony the stems bowing slightly in the gentle breeze My love is like a huge blanket soft and comforting to those who feel it let me wrap it round your shoulders and it will keep you safe and warm My loyalty is a lovable dog always faithful always there as long as you stay true it'll love you but it will turn on you if you abuse it I have described myself as best I can now you know a little about me it’s time for the favour to be returned what will you tell me about you
