My Honest Poem, inspired by Rudy Francisco

I'm Michelle.
I came into this world during a rainstorm in 1988, it happened to be Halloween.
My mom calls me her pumpkin and my dad called me Michey.
I am as tall as a 5th grader and often get offers to be put in peoples pocket.
I have blue eyes and I am told they are my grandpas.
I spent my childhood riding bikes and catching lightning bugs.
I also spent many nights laying in bed listening to my parents fight.
Once my parents got divorced life seemed a little easier.
My mother is my everything and she is the strongest woman I know.
My sister is my rock and has always been my protector.
I have two nieces that came into the this world at pretty hard times in my life.
They have brought nothing but happiness to me every day since then.
I honestly don't know where I would be without my grandparents .
I am inspired daily by music and always have a random song in my head.
I walk around singing and wish to find a guy to sing me to sleep at night.
A boy with a beautiful smile and that can make me laugh is my weakness.
I got a tattoo of an owl when I was 23.
I feel a connection to those wise, protective, holder of secrets.
Some of my biggest passions are traveling and meeting people.
I struggle at times to meet new people because I have always been shy.
When I was younger I wanted to be a firefighter.
Now I want to travel and write a book that gets published.
I am desperate to find love but terrified to give myself to a person.
I have a fear of heights that I constantly push myself to overcome.
I spent a majority of my teen years fighting the image I saw in the mirror.
It's kind of like a sober alcoholic that will always be an alcoholic.
One sip and it's all down hill from there.
I truly believe love can fix the world,
despite how much love has hurt me in the past.
I've been betrayed by many men, including my own father.
When I am with someone I give that person my everything.
I'm scared nobody will ever do the same for me.
I have become quite an independent person over the years.
What I mean by that is I am okay being by myself
 and don't rely on others to be who I am.
I ache to help people who are sad or going through hard times.
I always want to prove to people that they are loved and cared about.
I realize nobody is perfect and I try to see the good in everyone I meet.
I will always be around if someone needs to talk
but I struggle to open myself up to others.
Tears don't come easy for me but if I miss someone
you will find two small rivers flowing down my cheeks.
I have an obsession with tacos, I could eat them everyday.
Surprising enough my sweet tooth hasn't filled my mouth with cavities.
I enjoy laying in the grass and letting the sun warm my skin.
I take way too many pictures of sunsets and the moon.
I would constantly take pictures of friends and family if they let me.
I think we live in such an amazing place but we constantly destroy it.
I have realized when bad things happen I try and pretend it isn't real.
The days of Santa and the Tooth fairy are days I constantly miss.
So, that's me, Michelle, Michey, Pumpkin, Meshell, Chelle, Mimi, M....
The girl who lives to show everyone they are loved
but is terrified that true love will never find her.
