My past is no longer present

I am not too much

I care too much

About everything, everyone 

Orgasm or foreplay,

If I had to choose, I prefer tenderness.

To fast or to devour,

I listen to my stomach.

Talkative or terse,

I cry my tears to laugh them out.

Live like an eclectic bookstore.

Sleep like a nun.

Roar like a lioness.

Swear like a fool.

Speak like a grown up.

Think like a child.

Show my difference. 

Own my pain.

Blow kisses to my neighbors.

Hug a stranger.

Listen to an unknown soul.

I'm on a web,

that spins on itself,

I'm the spider,

and also the prey in distress,

dependent and rebellious

a teenage heiress.

Why undress,

when you can show yourself naked.
