Intimidating

one week, three instances

Intimidating

no one wants to be intimidating - at least, not I

the ingredients for this recipe apparently are
confidence
competence
intelligence
attractiveness

toss that salad and sprinkle on a dressing of another person's perspective

the truth is, when I eat it

the taste is familiar - it is true

I am intimidating

but not for lack of trying to be anything but

and the more I try to escape this notion - the more ridiculous I feel I become

I may not say much
Nor have to do much
I only know that it is as much in the power of the other person to approach me
- to be willing to expose themselves
for one to discover who I am

even if it ends up being "intimidating"
