My quiet demeanor.Dont take it lightly that I keep to myself more often than not.

I listen more than you know.

The people I love.I will never lose sight of the people I loved before you.

In my heart, Im learning to call myself the most important thing.

I need you to support that.

The inner love Ive worked so hard for.I need you to understand how far Ive come.

I need you to be my cheerleader when I need it.

My standards.Before you, I had none.

My past.Its my reminder of how far Ive come.

Its how I tell myself everyday that I have the strength to keep going.

My hope for the future.I have so much hope for whoIam going to be in the future.

That doesnt mean Im shutting you out, it just means that I still matter too.

The hardships Ive endured.Ill never forget what Ive been through.

Its part of what makes me, me, and I cant forget that.

Its how I cope.

Its important to me, and it always will be.

My dignity.I have too much of it to give away.
