ericjames’ world

I may be slow

But I’m sure of everything I do

I may be weak

But through my weakness I found my strength

I may act like a child

But I’m mature when it comes to thinking

I may be a fool

But I know I’m sincere

I may be sarcastic

But I only say what I feel

I may be simple

But that simplicity hides my innermost beauty

I may look happy

But sentiments are deep within me

I may posses a captivating smile

But it only covers everything I hide

I may be loveless

But I can still manage on my own

I may be others think of me

But only God knows…The REAL me
