everyone has some bad in them, including write of passage. humans love relating to imperfections, too. I say let it rip!

...how many bridges would you burn given the opportunity to be honest?...

It's a fair, and deep question. I'm often told I can be blunt. I debate whether or not to share.

Would I want to hear what I have to say, if I was in their shoes?

Little said is soonest mended

Without a wing a word could fly a 1, 000 miles

I'd rather be abandoned or alone

Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor

And it drags him to the bottom of the sea

His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream

Or frozen in some broken memory

I've never heard him speak about what happened

He'll never say what laid him low

There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone

Nice mind shift, Harrison. (Also: There are many scammers and grifters out there. For what it's worth, I don't think David is one of them...)

Such a good reflection! I've seen something similar in myself, so often the person who can scam me the most out of my experience is myself. And there can be a lot of reasons that happens! But when you're able to take the reigns and own the experience, it's amazing to see what you can get out of it. I appreciate your humor and self reflection here.
