I am blatantly blunt
And maybe I say too much too soon
Foot in my mouth my tongue is impulsive
Word salad word salad wrong worded wording words
Nothing comes out right in the way that I want them to be more than just
Syllables pouring out to fill the space between us
But you don't seem to mind how often I stumble over myself
I feel stupid with my recklessness, my loving with abandon
But you don't wince or blink or run and hide
I used to be so cautious, cautious
Looking both ways before I cross the street
Now like a curious cat confident I'll make it, I just dart
You make me not care even though I should I should I really ******* should
It makes me feel alive but still on the inside oh the inside
I'm just a scared little kitten, scared of my own claws.
