Big Personalities
i do not believe in big personalities
i do believe in,
humans and insecurity
and people who over compensate
i do not back down –
or simply comply
i think being scared –
is just the shadows under your eyes
i do not believe in big personalities
and when i hear that term being used
i do not roll up my sleeves
and wait to be bruised
i know the effects of over compensation
i know how it is to scream and shout –
in anxiety drenched situations
i know what big personalities are actually about
