Put me in a room
Infront of an audience
Watch me stutter
Over words
Tripping over nouns
Adjectives
Fumbling over
Verbs
Getting on your nerves
Getting all nervous and shhh
Yeah, watch me get heckled
Not for lacking confidence
That is something you earn
When you don't care
What others think
Unlike me
I'm a mixed drink
Of sorts
I care
Not always
A good sport
Six foot two
Far from short
Kind of a dork
A hybrid
A spork
Combination
Cool
Dork
Spoon
Fork
Back to spork
Using the end as a toothpick
When no one looks
I lack confidence
Caring what others think
I'm no single shot
I'm a mixed drink
Being honest
Slacking lacking confidence
What I lack in confidence
I make up in size
So big in size this heart
Could not be jailed
Behind bars
Constructed of ribs
Caged
In solitare
I thought it was only fair
The size of my heart dispersed
In many boxes
A gift
Birthday presents
Waiting for you to blow out
The candles first
Before opening the gift
The gift you bought yourself
Because no one buys a better gift
Than we can
For ourselves
Although receiving a gift
Always feels better
Before you start opening it
Up to confidence
Using confidence as cool
Like when it's cool to lie
Even when breaking the law
This is how i know
Confident people make the best lawyers
As do liars
So please
Do not put me in a room
Full of people
A room I cannot lie in
I must move around
Telling you the truth
Even when it hurts
Because confident people
Are made of titanium
Unlike me
I did not inherit that gene
I am not confident
I care
I'm cardboard
Thoughts like water sponge to me
I absorb
The attention
Span long enough
To understand
Too much emotion
Tips the tea
On to the saucer
And if things get hectic
Don't worry
I have napkins

I it!! Amazing, J!!
