Set the rhymes aside,
Who do you see?
If I scribbled this in a millisecond,
Could you translate my gibberish?
This is who I am.
I never really make any sense
And I react best on impulse.
I’m obsessive;
Oh, I’m obsessive!
I prowl the internet highway
Looking for my newest prey…
But I’m by far no predator.
I’m not intimidating.
In fact, I’m downright miniscule
As far as threats go
(Ignoring my plot of world domination)
I lead, I follow, I’m pretty flexible.
I ramble, often.
Too often.
But even random thoughts have their place
Somewhere
In this crazy universe…
I spend all my time praying
I have a place too.
Do you see me now?
Author notes
Well, here it is... It's not the best thing ever, but I've never been any good at explaining myself. Mostly because I don't think I'm that interesting, but eh. We do what we can.
Good luck to everyone!

You are such a delighful bundle of honest contradictions. I love it! I really enjoyed this line '(Ignoring my plot of world domination)' Hehehe Made me giggle, 'cause I often say that myself. I really enjoyed the repetion of a few lines, 'I'm obesessive' and ''Too often', it just stood out as so direct and very honest. Something I appreciate very much. Reading this, I want to get to know you better.
Wonderful job. Thank you for entering!

I definitely see you now! Nice write as if you are being painted onto a canvas for all to see. Great write.

I definitely love the way that this feels, as if thoughts are being poured onto the page. I like how certain things are repeated, like "obsessive" and "too often," giving those aspects a more direct feel. I think this relates your personality and feelings very well, and you shouldn't think that you're not interesting. This is a great introduction.
