My father. How wonderful are all your creations.
In your merciful love you made me beautiful yet flawed.
Kind but temperamental.

Good but blunt to the core.
Stubborn yet committed to what is right.
Loyal but always drawn to the wrong type of people.

Fearless but stupid. An emotional fool that cries and pursues things that don't really matter.

A good heart with a vengeful temper.
Quick to anger, quick to forgiveness but never forgets.

All these qualities balance themselves out and makes me me.
But what happens when I've started feeling that some of them have to go?

That I have to crack my shell and come out a new creation.
