I am not all the things my words make me out to be. While my tongue clucks of bravado and strength my eyes search for the easy way out. I tell tall tales of how I've gotten by by the skin of my teeth by my own daring and will but the enamel is worn thin from the nights I spend chewing over the moments I wasn't ready for. Every day the sun passes over me is another day spent passing idle conversaton of what I will do one day, only if, never when. If I speak to those who construct their sentences with actionable words with authority with that self-assuredness that theirs is the correct path, I find myself wondering when the day will come that my own words will shape the person I say I am. When will I be the person I say I will be? Not until I write my own story, instead of listening to those of others while wishing I had a story to tell.
