I feel the need to confess
to come clean
to speak out loud
the obviousness of myself
no more games
I plea, to be frank
to give a simple
to the point explanation
bottom line me
Look, I say
to be honest
Look, I say
if you really want to know
I am under here
I am less
I am more
than presented
not over-confident cocky girl
not insecure passive girl
sincere me is real
I say, quite better
much more filling
than these passing airs
Read Me!
pass those constant lies
I am vulnerable and strong
I am good and bad and innocent
I am everything
and nothing more than
what you might see
if you don’t listen
to my constant rambling
I feel the need to state
to proclaim the truth
as it is through my eyes
