My First Love

You were my first love. 
In times of distress, you have always been there. 
Others have left you for bigger, newer, faster things.
They change, yet you, you remain the same. 
You comfort me. 
I love your smell. 
The way you feel. 
The front of you.
The back of you. 
The inside, or essence, of you
keeps me effortlessly entertained. 
What would I have done without you all these years?
You helped me escape
when times were rough. 
You created worlds with me.
Those worlds will forever belong to only us. 
I shall not leave you behind 
as others have.
You have been my most consistent companion. 
You have made me feel different emotions
from elation to depression. 
And yet, I thank you for that. 
No matter what happens, 
no matter what becomes
"mainstream"
in this world.
I shall remain with you,
My first love,
the written word-
THE PAPERBACK BOOK.
My first love.

I am not a delicate flower

I am not a
delicate flower
I am not 
the weaker sex
I am not 
overly emotional
or 
inherently illogical
I am strong
I am
rational
I can be
aggressive 
"When I need to be"
However
as a 
modern woman
I also
have
a choice.
A voice.
I can be 
strong
rational
aggressive
assertive-
Unless 
I choose
to be 
a delicate flower.
Then I can be
The power
lies in 
the choice.
