I’m almost entirely devoid of self-confidence.
What little exists is skeptical.
I’m also paranoid and pessimistic,
And a creative writer,
Which isn’t a good combination.
I consider every single possible situation for everything
And expect the absolute worst out of every single one of them.
At least I’m ready for anything,
And always expecting the worst typically keeps me from being disappointed.
I’m arrogant in some cases,
Ignorant in many others.
Ignorant in simple things, like how to do taxes.
I’m terrible with numbers for the most part,
And, to be honest, not all that much better with writing.
I tease a lot, sometimes to an annoying degree.
It really means that I care, otherwise I wouldn’t talk at all,
Though I tend to go a little too far on occasion.
I get depressed once in a while,
A family trait, I suppose.
I’ll sit and brood and bathe in heartache,
And it takes a lot to cheer me up.
I haven’t entirely grown up, either.
Sometimes I can be downright childish,
And I’ll say and do the stupidest things.
I can be selfish and inconsiderate,
Even though I always realize it soon after I’ve caused a problem.
I’m also not the strongest guy emotionally.
I cry when I’m upset.
I used to never be able to explain anything to the principal,
Even when I wasn’t to blame.
I’m not very attractive, appearance wise,
Personality wise, either, considering the above traits.
But I’ll love you ‘til Heaven crumbles,
And stay true to you ‘til the stars flicker and die.
All you have to do is say the same.
I don’t give my love for free anymore.

Spoken like a true analyst. You go boy! I loved this write.We all have to grow up and realize what is important in life. I loved the transition you made in this one. Great Job Mike! Tammy F.
"Young man of Athens, your pride peeps from every rent in your clothing." Self depreciation is often a sign of great ego. Never depreciate your ego, for its swelles against the onslaught of life. Your work is good, I appreciated it, and as one reader already pointed out, we are but what we think we are.
This reminds me of a great book called, "The Spirituality of Imperfection," about how we don't accept our human-ness and expect so much from ourselves as well as others. Instead of seeing ourselves as human beings trying to become spiritual, maybe we should see us as spiritual beings trying to be human.
Mike, allow me to introduce myself! I am your twin brother! You have, in a few specially chosen words, described what a real human being is! Mind you, I said REAL! The rest is what we think we are. Your writing style is very...interesting! I use the word interesting when I can't describe something to my satisfaction. I'm sorry I can't give you points! But I can give you my welcome! Welcome to PnP (People Need Poetry).
The more I talk to you, the more I read from you, the more and more I'm drawn to you and your words. All of this is nothing to be ashamed of, but instad something that is amazing.
I can't wait to talk to you more, and to get to know you better
your hired.
A quite amusing self perspective.
And as mentioned very much human like.
Now I would like to see the same sort of thing but with all your good points.
Good write.
Well there is not much to add to the comments already left. So welcome to the world we all inhabit.
The trouble is, until we write or tell others about our thoughts and fears, we think we are unique. We are not! We have all been cast from the same mold.
The trick is in what to look for. Not dark clouds, but silver linings. Not the half empty glass, but the nearly full bottle.
Keep looking, you'll find them.
Brian.
Welcome !
