Character.

This is a poem I wrote called Character. 


Man, I haven't written about you in some time
Because of work bottling me up like seltzer water I've been unable to thread together some rhymes
Concepts and punchlines have eluded me for the time being
But that clock is stopped, the hourglass is turned over and the sand is pouring down anew.
And with that, my love. Here's a fresh poem about you.
Someone once told me that adversity doesn't build as much character as it reveals.
That's true, because I know this thing we're building together, brick by brick wasn't going to be done under clear skies after a rainbow.
There are gonna be tough times, bad days and everything in between.
There's going to be times when you'll have to hold me up as I fall apart, and times when I'm going to do the same.
But... through it all. The ups and downs, the smiles and laughs and tears that fall onto the ground as the stresses of life weigh us down.

Just know this... I'll be here. For whatever and through whatever.
All I ask is that you keep in mind that I'm too pretty for jail.
