I carry a heart full of love <br />A guarded gate and covered scars <br />I carry a heart willing to give <br />A heart that loves without a care <br /> <br />I carry the knowledge of one that knows <br />I carry the responsibility to take care of others <br />The knowledge of how to make someone laugh <br />I carry the past like a solider carries’ a wound, sometimes painful but always there <br />I carry my thoughts always whirling through my mind always thinking and daydreaming <br />As my days go by <br /> <br />I carry my dreams and my deepest secrets, <br />Insecure and feelings that make me, me <br />My outspoken nature just a cover that hides the true me <br />The girl that thinks with her heart <br />The girl that could never be broken <br /> That stands her ground <br />The one that could break your heart with just a few words <br />But would never dare.<br /><br />Amanda Norris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-things-i-carry/
