Justine

Justine talks with seriousness and enthusiasm
like an honest kid
who has to get the facts straight
She says she often gets anxious
worked up about making mistakes
that’s when she is angry
always and only at herself
A quiet heart sits behind her chest
Occasionally a ripple might occur
maybe when she gets competitive
playing tennis
I admire her and want to be near her
so that I can sustain my admiration
An endeavor that takes courage
free of all insecurities
about not being noticed
wanted
by a quiet, self-sufficient heart
