Am I worth It?

I like to think of my heart to be like an onion, with multiple layers that become thicker the deeper you go.

The resemblance is eerie. You would have to shed a few tears cutting through the surface, tearing down the thinly veiled and unattractive walls I put up to defend myself from those who could easily give up on me because of my flaws.

Once you shed my unattractive skin, you get to see me in my pure and fully bulbous delight. But do not celebrate just yet. I still pack enough juices to sting you if you get too chummy for my liking.

In this new form, I am naked and insecure about how you would perceive me. It was so much easier being covered and ugly than naked before you.

In the past, some have loved me in this form; others have simply tossed me into the trash because I wasn’t what they expected me to be.

But, to get to know me in all my element you’ll need to carefully slice me and dice me; all the while tolerating the fumes I generate; because, I don’t know any better.

Some of my actions might offend you, and you could cut yourself and bleed if you take a misstep. But if you’re careful and patient enough; you’ll get to know all of me and enjoy the aroma I would bring into your life  

Am I worth it?

I like to think of my mind as a maze I cannot seem to escape from. With so many unfamiliar twists, turns and corners that make me get lost more often than not.

The few times I find myself, I hold on to those moments for too long, till it slips from my hands and once again and I am lost and even worse off than ever before.

If you ever cross my mind, be very wary; there are dangers around every corner, worse than minotaurs sober. Monsters that lure to maim and gore.

I try to make peace with them but they tend to rebel from time to time.

But don’t be scared, if you’re with me they’ll never hurt you. And though I can’t promise that we’ll find a way out of the never ending twists and turns I’ll put you through, I can assure you, you’ld atleast have a lot of fun along the way

Am I worth it?

I like to think of my life as a partner in a game of charades. With me forever looking to it for clues about what my future holds for me. I have a tendency to blindly guess what my next step is. Never waiting for clear clues; but rather jumping to conclusions at mere hints and hoping for the best.

Needless to say, I have sucked at the game for as long as I can remember. I always seemed to make the wrong choices, till I decided to take a break and properly learn the game.

Would it be worth it?

I guess we would have to wait and see
