i am a lover
i feel at home in the way that i love people
i want people to know that i care
i want to show them that they mean something
most importantly,
i don't care if i get hurt for loving people
i love people because it makes them glow
i don't want someone to try and change me
i don't want someone to turn me into a paranoid person
i don't want someone to turn me into a person who's afraid of pain
i don't want to run and hide from happiness,
i want to feel at home
and i want to do the same for others
i love myself because i make other people feel full
i can't be the one that runs away from what makes me happy
i can't be the one that shelters herself from excitement
i can't be the one that doesn't take risks
i can't be the one that fears joy
i can't be the one that never feels a thing
i can't be the one that doesn't love,
so stop trying to make me
