Jest a Joke
I guess I am just a joke,
never to be taken seriously.
Gave pieces of myself out too generously.
Even though I did it cautiously,
The evidence shows it was still done dangerously.
Ive fought for the wrong ones furiously.
Trying to hold on to that memory,
now seems more like a stupid fantasy.
Does everyone think I don't have the mental capacity
to handle the truth or deserve honesty?
I don't hide awful intentions masked by chivalry.
I may have flaws, sometimes rather clumsy,
there's not much of me
Ive become somewhat shaky,
But when you're all in, so am I entirely.
I think people think I am a joke, sadly
I've learned that curiosity can come off as acting suspiciously
Being anxious or nervous can turn into a catastrophe.
Inner commentary
Acting awkwardly
Try to approach things delicately
Failed miserably.
To Be continued...
