Thank you

I get nervous to introduce myself to people. 

Not because I'm scared of them, but because most people don't understand what I'm saying. 

To those who know me, thank you.

Ive never been good at pronouncing my name, but I never hesitate to say it.  

To those who know my name, thank you. 

Ive never been creative but I've always had a lot to say.

  To those who listened, thank you. 

I get scared to share my poems in front of the class, but sometimes I do it anyways.

To those who enjoyed my poems, thank you.

I'm always late to class, there is just something about crowded hallways that makes me uneasy. 

To Nelson, thanks for never marking me absent.

Ive never been to paris, but Ive seen bravery in its citizens.

To those who wrote from their heart, thank you. 

I always get more confidence on my writing when someone comments.

To those who commented, thank you.

To those who even glanced at my blog, thank you.

I hope you will return. 

xoxo,
