sharing with a stranger, who's not so strange

my silence does not negate
my need to speak
you will find my voice, in my actions
that i do not allow my self to display anger
is by no means a display of complacency
i will satiate doubts you announce, with silent momentum
truth be told the more you doubt
the more i will deliver
i beg of you, seek no solace in the harsh words i do not say
place no value in the confrontation i will not pursue
for i am not passively agreeing
my convictions are not easily set aside, as arbitrary
the quite tears that may fall
the catch in my throat, momentarily silencing
is just me, taking in what you believe
acknowledging the power it holds
and patiently thinking out my next move.
familiarity with the doubt of others
has never stopped me,
from toasting the accomplishments i've made
nor sequestered my admiration of others
i do know that there are those who doubt you too
and those that will eternally sing your praises
i expect neither from you.
i do not expect, respect.
i know all too well the consequences, of expectations.

with my head bowed
and my heart in it's place
i have learned to have faith
in what i can do. cause it's amazing what one lil irish girl can do ...its breath taking.
