Had to write this for english class but I love it so here you go besties

I was born on June 1st
Although I've never enjoyed the summertime
I don't know how to read into people
And I'm a sucker for kindness and soft smiles
I'm still learning how to be honest with myself
I think I'm having trouble with it because in order to be honest with yourself, you have to be honest with others
Which I'm not always the best at
I was born the umbilical cord around my neck and I've felt strangled ever since
I like cheesecake .... a lot.
I've been told I'm atrocious at singing
It's probably because I'm too scared to show my real voice
Not just musically
Secretly I get really nervous every time I'm alone
I have an odd fascination with writing stories and video games
I assume I like them because I can control everything that's happening, that not only affects me, but the actions of others, unlike my own life
I guess that's why my bed is always made, for that sense of control, even if it's something that small
You see, having that small amount of organization reminds me that I'm not afraid of
The dark or what lays in it
But I'm scared to death of everything that's going to happen the very moment that I
Have no one but myself
I know this sounds weird but I wonder what my clothes say about me when I'm not around.
Do they speak of how they're just a constant cover up of my insecurities?
I mean, we'll never really know
Hi, my name is Kamryn
I enjoy dancing, roller coasters , and the smell of the earth after it's been dampened by rain
But I don't tell people how I genuinely am doing as often as I should.
My hobbies include:
Panicking at the first sight of conflict
Caring about others much more than I care about myself
And trying to convince my parents that I'm not mentally burnt out, that I'm doing better than I ever have
You see I don't know much, but I do know this:
I know that the stars are aligned for a reason
And I know that they'll guide me through life to my future :)
