Me

I am the one who worries about those close to me
I am the one who frets about the future
I am the one who lies awake at night, haunted by the things that could hurt me
I am the one who listens and cares
I am the one who bottles everything up
I am the one who would never try to hurt you
I am not the optimistic person I claim to be
