Are you sure?

No Filter

Are you sure?

Rarely.

I doubt , and question and nit pick.

And back track, and rethink.

Then I fake it until I make it

And I’ve yet to make it, so

I exaggerate my work load

And highlight what I have done

Subtly

As I lose myself in Television plotlines

While playing puzzles games

To turn off my

Not so busy mind.

Not so all-knowing and impressive brain

Impressive

Just enough to slide your eyes

Away from my last mistake

Carelessness

Toward something I handled well.

Well- enough to make you trust me

Even when

I can’t trust myself

To maintain composure

Or balance time

Or keep steady and

Rack up things for the resume

Lucky, the right words can make

Down

Seem

Up

And salvage wasted opportunities that

Bite hard enough

To leave a line

Down the center of my forehead

Invisible in the right light

And with the right smile

Not too big, but enough to be convincing.
