Opinionated

Opinionated

Dangle my insecurities from your fingertips,
my imperfections, flaws.
The rough spots where my soul
shows through my skin.
I will not hide from you.
See how naked I feel,
stripped of my hopes and dreams?
Your false smile doesn’t fool me,
I see right through you,
just as you see right through me.
And I won’t hold my tongue,
just because you don’t like what I say.
I won’t bite my lip,
or keep my opinions to myself.
I’m not surprised by your reactions
to my being so up-front,
so in your face.
I’ve never hidden my true feelings from you.
So shut your mouth,
keep your thoughts to yourself,
don’t let me know what’s going on.
You flaunt my insecurities anyways.
