I may not be perfect, but I'm trying. I'm not going to be your angel, so please don't expect me to. If you think I'm too good for you, remember that I am not. I am far from good. I am far from right. I have been to the lowest places and I will never forget that. I'm not even sure if I have risen from them. If you think I'm not good enough for you, you're probably right. But please try not to remind me of how I have failed. I am reminded everyday of how I have failed in almost every regard. I do not need to you make me cry. I know how.

I will not leave without a fight. Your insults will only make me stronger. Your rejection only deepens my faith. Your hate only strengthens my convictions. Though I may have my own demons, I hide them deep inside. They eat away at me slowly and carefully. I will show them to you if you ask nicely...
I have a pain. I have a secret. Maybe a few of them.
I have a core. A core not easily shaken.
