Honestly Speaking

Honestly Speaking 
Frankly speaking one's candor
Has put me in some uncomfortable 
Situations. Honestly Speaking 

For instance, correcting someone of
The spelling of my name. Honestly Speaking 

I often address my feelings of confusion, 
Tension,  chaos. Honestly Speaking 

Often feel discounted, taken advantage of, 
And not appreciated. Honestly Speaking 

I'm not an attention-seeker nor do I prefer to chase
Anyone who sees my self-worth is also valuable. 
Honestly Speaking 

My straightforwardness in my process seems to
Hinder me for not being unpretentious. Honestly 
Speaking
