Forceful But Impartial
I've never been accused of not
Speaking my mind,
Though my intent has never
Been to berate;
Often from my tone, others
Think me unkind,
Because often it's been said
I intimidate;
I'm often like a teapot letting
Off some steam,
And others may not embrace
Things I've said;
I'll never bottle things up until I
Need to scream,
Nor be forced into things for which
I have dread;
I've heard it said of me,
"You may not like the things he says,
but you have to like the fact that he'll tell you to your face"
