Gutteral

I've never been that girl.

I rarely sob, although I scream. Sometimes I sulk but it's quickly and effectively replaced with a sincere smile.

I'll never beg, but I will ask, and with conviction. I don't argue, I don't plead because I'd rather bite my tongue and hold my lips closed tight than give in to being overly human.

I don't like sharing, not when it comes to big things. Dollars, cigarettes, shoes; borrow them freely and often. Emotions, fears...and the best of you. Those should be mine to hold and keep protected.

I choose to be a stubborn ass, and grasp to what feels right by doing wrong. I am one individual making this choice of my own attrition.

There is one thing you should know: I don't have to live this way.
