Things to take into account before you text me for the first time

If I like you I will wait at least ten minutes to text back so you know that I do not need anyone
I am passive. And aggressive. But never both at the same time
My mind works in rhyme on some Dr. Seuss type shit and it will drive you insane
I think pain is the only way to grow
I am a cave diver always in search of gold collecting mud on the toes of my combat timbs
I love bruises and scars but never enough to give them to myself,
I will not trophy what has not been earned
When I die my body will be burned in a bonfire in the woods.
But not enough to start a forest fire, I love nature and trees and...destruction but only of myself, everything else is too precious
Pressure either breaks or makes a diamond and I seem to be cracking
What does that mean? I am still waiting for the results
You should know I'm dramatic as fuck
Only dramatic kids write poems
And I will turn everything into a metaphor from grape popsicles to oceans to the walmart plastic stars on your ceiling and door
The moon is my best friend, so the slot is already filled, but it is 238,900 miles away which means the journey there will take a couple of days and I like partners on road trips
I'm obsessed with movies, to a fault.
I especially love 1980's coming of age flicks, and am especially terrified of growing up so I plan on dying at 26 not a suicide
I will be shot.
Under circumstances I do not know what
I have raised four kids in my life and do not want to raise anymore
I keep my uncle's funeral pamphlet in my top left dresser drawer
I avoid opening it at all costs.
I love fall but only when I'm anorexic
I give my presence like dollar coins
rare and seemingly precious
when I am just four quarters, 100 pennies, pocket change nickels, 10 dimes
I am selfish and giving with myself and my time and live solely in my mind
I don't go to church, but I'm not adverse to the idea
I am a hopeless romantic who loves crying loving tears
I will break your heart and beg you to break mine in return.
So before you text me for the first time, consider all you've just learned and decide

is it worth it?
