Angry...
like my father.
Strong...
like my mother.
Soft...
like my brother.
Stubborn...
like them all.
Determined...
like the Olympians.
Cynical...
like those who carry burdens
that aren't their own.
Untrusting...
like all those who have been hurt
by the people you don't expect.
Scarred...
like the warrior.
Loving...
like a saint.

Still here...
because of you.
