I Shall Give You Bits of Myself
I could tell you my faults
but what would be the fun of that?
So, shall I tell you of my accomplishments?
What if there aren’t any?
What if there are but there are so many
you would believe I was lying?
Would that be bragging?
What if you wanted to get to know me yourself?
Could I wait patiently for you to get the gist of me?
I think I shall give you bits of myself
Tiny bites at a time
until you know my saltiness
And you recognize my sugar
My sugar comes in many forms
One form is genuine
The other form is faux
If you truly know me you will be able to discern them.
