about she.

she has short and messy dyed red hair

she has dark brown eyes that glow in sunlight

she is silent

she is a good friend

she has fading signed shoes

she is nice

she wears her heart on her sleeve

she is me 

me is quiet

but me is loud around friends and family

me is funny

but me hates dark jokes

me is a good friend

but me doesn't have very good friends

me has many signatures on my beaded Converse

but me wants some bad names gone

me is too open

which means me can get emotional

me is okay

me is safe

me is still here

and me looks at the person across from me

and me says, "I'm proud of myself now."

and me says this to she in the mirror

because she has always been me

    or a puppy full of sweet little dreams.

    it has been years since it has happened.
