"The only reason that I’m not 

publishing it is because

a friend of mine 

that I respect very deeply

asked me if it was 

what I really wanted to say.

I told him that no,

it wasn’t what I wanted to say.

But I’m not so sure that 

I have actually ever

said anything I really wanted 

to.

Truthfully,

I have always wanted to 

be the quiet kid.

The one who sits in the 

midst of everything,

taking it in with a gentle nod.

And when he opens his mouth

everybody listens.

It didn’t work out that way, 

though.

I turned out to be 

the kid who talked too much

and seemed to have

an opinion on everything

even if I had no idea

what I was talking about.

I turned out to be the kid who

only said what I wanted

to say after I had already

blown my chances of

saying it.

I was ashamed,

I knew there were too many of those

in the world.

And what made it worse was that

I never had good timing.

I still don’t.

and I’m not sure that I ever will."
