"Call me irresponsible" the song went
in "Papa's Delicate Condition"... I'd
sooner think of it like this, my version:
Call me absolutely reliable, honest as the
day I was born, as long as it's true and
candid; loyal and moral as blood is blue.
Call me somewhat beautiful - not a really
attractive woman that strikes you, but
something in between pretty and cute.
Call me modest - I'm forgettable...more
people remember my dog's name and
breed than they remember much about me.
I'm humble to a fault, selfish too - don't
know what it is that I can't find a job or
have a lot of friends...I guess I'm just....
Too serious, too low key, too quiet.
I wish people could read the sincere
intentions of my heart as well as my face.
Call me desperate but hopeful; disappointed,
but not despondent and despairing - at
least not just yet: I like to think that,
To coin a phrase, the possibilities are endless.
I'm street smart, I'm book smart - people
have told me they find me intimidating...
Call me determined, sometimes obstinate and
stubborn in the extreme, but I don't mean to
be intimidating - that's not what I want to be,
Or how I want to be perceived...I can't change
how people see me, but I can change myself
if only people would tell me what they see...

This was kind of sad. But it was still good, especially for just a freewrite. Keep up the great work.

it is a personal piece that has great imsight. the structure of it is great. it gives it a easy measure of flow. the tone has a bit of humor in it bet it's a little sad. it is creative and clever though.

So far, this is my favorite of yours. Just a freewrite? Perhaps then, these are where you shine. I loved the honesty and raw edges. It formed a connection with me...I too have felt, especially lately, that I am often misunderstood. You and I are two very different personalities, yet we have both felt the same way. You've struck on something here. Something all people can relate to, I think.
