I'm back

Welcome back,

ladies and gents,

to your favorite show -

me!

A walking catastrophe with lots to say

lots of opinions

lots of feeling

I'm a very, very messy human being

and I clean up the world around me

because all you people leave are more mess.

Yes, I create it too

but obviously I'm here to fix fix fix

we like to say I OCD all over everything and yes it's kind of true but

who's keeping track?

Of all the people I hurt?

Too many to say for sure.

I quip back and forth with my teammates

snarky little comments with sharp edges

because this is how they are

and I can fit without change.

So I do

athlete-student

I go along with whoever the heck will talk to me

tease me

in a way that doesn't cross lines.

Lines -

I'm made up of those too.

Firm ones.

Loud ones,

drawn across my body

on switch off switch 

I am not an in between.

Frigid or burning.

All or nothing.

Go big -

or go home.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

I'm back -

and I'm scared of public speaking so this is what I have to say:

Bring it on.
