I Am
*Reader submission, photo of author*
I am a bisexual black male
An artist with a constant creative block
A recovering addict
And I'm only 20
The odds have been against me for a while
I'm a sucker for a short girl with Carmel skin, red hair and an intoxicating smile
I am currently working two jobs
One I'm pretty sure I want to make career out of
The other is just so I can pay bills and put gas in my car
I am an overly emotional person
Who finds it hard to be emotionally available for family
and those who claim they love me romantically
I am a hopeless romantic who defies the acceleration of gravity
Falling harder and faster each time someone nurturers a deep connection we share.
