one's character

I want to say horrible things, sometimes
- but never to you, if you don't mind.
I need you to love who you think I am
your favorite person on Earth,
sometimes,

And other times mine! Deservedly so.
Honestly, that guy can be so damn sweet!
We can laugh as I tell you the horrible things
I wanted to say to others who cross my path,
and I know that you'd well believe
that I let them pass.

Why wouldn't I, though?
I'm proud to be what you think of me,
every chance I get,

As I'm sure you know.

  1. I would like to 'like' this. With a button, I mean.

  2. Thank you!

    I was SO PLEASED to have written this, you have no idea. I'm not even sure why, I mean it's kind of a small thing in a small way, but I like it.

    I seem to love ingenuous reflections on my own potential duplicity. I think it's because I'm suspicious of it. So when I get one that neatly twists to a turn and sticks there, clearly pleased and proud of itself I'm like "HA! Got you!!"

    I think I've gone simple.

Anything you have to say - question, critique, interpretation, praise or rebuke - is received with gratitude and interest.

If it looks like spam and contains a link, though, it will not be published. I will cherish it to myself, instead. Thank you!
