I stand in front of you...far from perfect but whole. I know my wants...my dreams...my likes....my dislikes....my flaws. All of these I have bared to your scrutiny and you have deemed them passable. And so we moved on, each believing that the other was a part of a whole...but that is not the case. We are each wholes, there is no greater one to achieve and here I stand with you pushing me into a mold that I do not fit into. I have never fit into it and nor do I want to...and the sad part is I don't know if you even know you are doing it. It has taken me many years, and many stumbles along this path to finally come to the end and they say the journey is what matters but for me it was coming to this end and actually finding something. What I found was me...who I had the potential to become. I have scars, on my body and on my soul, but these you know, you were not wanting perfect....at least then. Now I come home to you and you expect me to bend over backwards to make your life better....but what about my life. When did I fall so far from your eyes and what did I do to deserve that fall from grace. I love you still and that is my flaw, but it is a flaw I acknowledge gladly because it means I am still here, and still strong and still whole. I will not let you tear me down as so many have tried and I will not let myself be put into a mold. I am whole as I am....and most importantly I am ME......if only you would be happy with that.
