good and kind

I am good and kind

Except for when I'm not, 

Yet somehow I always forget that first part. 

I am a rememberer of mistakes

Except for when friends 

Remind me of who I truly am—my better self. 

I am good and kind and sweet and mean. 

I am a human woman with faults and a sheen 

Made of memories both real and perceived. 

I am two sides of one coin. 

I am my hopes and dreams and ruinous flaws

With goodness and kindness at my core.
