What I Am

A constant contradiction; half-crazed, sex-starved, loud-mouthed, fun-loving drunk
or quiet monk, repressed, respectful, often absentminded in thought, word, and deed
indeed, to be completely honest though, perhaps some sort of explanation owed
to those I trust, at least in part, possessed of robust constitutions,
who, if asked, would grant absolution, because in truth I must admit...
I like to look. To talk the talk.
Someday I'll even walk the walk
and, instead of sharing little bits & pieces of personal eccentricity
commit to merging the entirety of these disparate entities
whose emotions, are always worn upon my sleeve for all the world to see.
especially to those they may concern, intense (a fact I hope will never change),
and yet uncertain where and how to tread, to learn the lessons life has left
Strangely still, despite these quirks, safe and secure in the knowledge of my own self-worth.
Let all the rest think what they will. I'm dressed to kill, impressive, eager for a thrill
a chance to be all that I can/all that I ever want to be.
the best that any will/have ever seen.
