The Awesome Idiot


Sometimes I amaze myself with the things I allow to escape. Its not that I don't think before I speak, its that I think too much. I've been a pushover for quite some time and I have the scars to prove it from biting my tongue. Not wanting to offend, confront, or react; I told them what they wanted to hear, took the easy way out, or said nothing at all. Fear.

With this new optimism and fearless confidence, the things I once swallowed have escaped the lips. Most of the time its awful sarcasm, genuine wit, or BS philosophy and the remainder of the time its straight facts, honest expressions, and the hard-to-come-by No's.

[So,] after the change it turns out that in a sense, I was keeping myself a secret. Also as it turns out, I've got far more to offer. I still may be an idiot though, somethings are harder to escape. A tiger will always have its stripes.
Wait for it.
