Sep 16, 2009 - i have the trait as well and i love hearing your point of view. it's like i thought it was crazy enough just having the trait but i know the girl in this poem would switch places with me in a heart beat. it's like i can relate to her but then i can't. it's the same but then it's so different. i love this poem.
