I am the flipper
Rejection of shots
And I don't hurt when I dig deep
And I go underground

I am
'Good with words'
yet words seldom ever seem to fall out
Of my flippant mouth

I am nothing that I wish to be
Borderline rambunctious
And my thoughts constantly spill over
When I spout in a crowd

Flipper is flippantly
Objecting
Objectify me now
I am the silent breather that never sends chills down your spine
Yet you wonder if my calling
Has gone overtime

Flipper speak
Flipper be gone
Flipper take shelter
Flipper don't make a sound

Flipper give you best smiles
Flipper win all their hearts
Flipper give them charisma
Flipper keep all your darts

Flipper tires from trying now
Rusting with time
Have I let my guard down
Or am I at last
Feeling fine?

Call it anxiety
Call if whatever you wish
C'mon call it an excuse
Isn't it brilliant to use?

Flipper: better or worse?
Flipper sets off a fuse
Flipper takes over mind
Flipper takes over news

Hush now stories are dry
For you let Flipper in
Build your walls up so high
Just to keep our your sin

Yet
Humans do lie
Courage comes from within
Sometimes it pays to hurt when you let your heart win
