THE STRUGGLE

BY: AMY HATCH

I love it when he takes hold of my hair while kissing me
When he tells me that I am beautiful
When he kisses me on the corner of my mouth
And leaves me wanting more

I love that I can be myself
And feel comfortable enough to take risks
I can do anything
And be confident

I hate it when he tells me one thing
And does another
When he tells me something
But I know it’s not the entire truth

I hate that I can be insecure
And feel like the world is crumbling around me in half a second
I have a hard time waiting for anything
And my patience is constantly tested
