As I focus inwards...
Am I really that complex and difficult to understand?
I talk to some people now... and they seem surprised by what I am saying. I never think of myself as complex and deep. I am who I am. An individual with goals and desires, faults and fears. I am who I am.
Yet, sometimes I don't think people see me for me. They take me for face value then... and never get to know me. I guard myself in a attitude of flirtatious frivolity. While some people's defensive mechanism is to become introverted, I defend myself by being out there... gregarious, funny, goofy, and irresponsible. These are part of who I am, but they aren't me.
I see people look at me with disgust. They think I can never be serious, never be tied down, never know anything beyond what I appear to be. Fuck you. I am more than that, but you never take the effort to let me be who I am. I draw strength from those around me... but you never stop to see my true strength, my spirit, my very essence. You think you know me but you don't. Before you judge me, talk to me. Experience who I truly am. Then you can see my true face. And I believe it may surprise you...
