She is

She is a porch light
Signaling my safe return
The useless umbrella
Before torrential storms
A protective vaccine
From what ravages the world

She is not a friend
Who enters and exits my life
She’s there when I need her
Even more when I think I don’t
She’s my defense attorney
And my corrections officer

She is the detour sign 
Marked with orange barricades
She is a warm blanket and soft pillow
On cold winter nights
She is soft melting butter
On freshly-baked bread

About TheOtherKLM

Hey there! I'm K.L. McDaniel, an introverted extrovert who's into fitness with a bit of a twist and always shuffling through life's organized clutter. Here at TheOtherKLM, I dive into everything that makes us tick—from the quiet corners of introverted minds to the sweat and joy of staying active, all while keeping our mental game strong. I'm all about contradictions that somehow make perfect sense. Think of me as your go-to for exploring how to learn endlessly, live healthily, and think deeply, all without losing our collective minds. It's not just about fitness or learning; it's about finding balance in the chaos and connecting in the most unexpected ways. So, if you're into making sense of life's beautiful mess with me, stick around. We're in for a journey of learning, laughing, and maybe a bit of dancing... metaphorically speaking, of course.
