i am…
… afraid of what others think of me
… bitchy when i’m tired
… collectively uncoordinated
… a dreamer, even though i claim to be an realist
… emphatical when unnecessary
… frigid when i’m pushed to the edge
… grotesquely biased
… often holding grudges, without your knowledge
… industrial only when necessary
… jealous of others
… a kleptomaniac, if i only i could be
… a loser, but afraid to accept it
… manipulative — more often than not hypocritical
… never telling the entire truth
… often judgmental and critical of others
… polite, only when it’s convenient
… quiet when i’m uncomfortable
… reasonable only if i think you’re capable of it
… satirical, even though i shouldn’t be
… not really tired, even though i say i am
… understanding, only if it’s of any merit to myself
… volunteering, if the cause is again, of self-merit
… willing, only if i like you
… xenophobic, even if i claim not to be
… your worst nightmare, if you’ll let me be it
… zealous, only when i’m stuck in a pickle
it’s interesting how it’s easier to pick out one’s shortcomings as opposed to their more benevolent qualities…
