Can I Be Honest?

Can I be honest?

I'm not sure I can.

I know too many secrets

I try so hard to keep them concealed

To keep them in my hand.

Can I be honest?

I'm not sure I can

I feel like people think I'm not

who I really am.

They think I am fantastic, perfect, great.

But really I'm not I'm ordinary.

But I guess that is ok.

Can I be honest?

I guess I really can.

I hold it in, but I don't need to.

I am happy with the way I am.

It's ok to be ordinary, not perfect, possibly bland.

I am who I am and that is who I am.
