Who am I?

I'm the girl with the opened mind

The constant kind companion to those around me

I am the older sister, projective to a fault

I am an adventurer of literary means

I fight monsters with a pen and paper

I am the helper, constantly moving from one person to the next

Kind words on my lips and a gentle hand caressing hands, shoulders, and cheeks

I am the silent griever, smiling outside while inside I scream

My fingers shake as I hold them out

I am the one who takes on the pain from others

I fight the demons that others cannot fight

I take the pain that I do not deserve

Because I am a protector

This is who I am
