“Don’t ask me a question if you’re not willing to listen to the answer.”
Sassy. Opinionated. Blunt.
You know how I am,
Yet you act so surprised
At my direct responses
To the latest crisis in your life.
Tact and subtlety
Are foreign tongues to me,
My stubborn adherence to integrity
A matter of pride, a part of my identity.
Truth is a stubborn thing,
And I will not dance around
In your veil of delusions merely
For the sake of your comfort.
I have no cruel intentions,
No malice toward you.
Honesty will prove
Much less cruel in the long run,
And my conscience remains
Untainted by a willing deceit.
Sassy. Opinionated. Blunt.
Perhaps the initials
Should have given you a clue.

"Truth is a stubborn thing"---How many times have I thought that? I am someone who does open her mouth and say the things that other people think and don't say--I related to this piece!
Thanks!

I liked the ending here. (Slightly) more subtle than the character you describe!
Truth is a stubborn thing ~
Nice ending line ~
“Don’t ask me a question if you’re not willing to listen to the answer.”
Which is why I don't ask too many questions.
Liked the directness of this.

BAM those are strong words...but i feel you...i am much the same...and it will get me in trouble occassionally...ha
Loved the play on the initials at the end! Sassy, indeed :)

I am so much like this, I seem to tell it like it is as well. I don't sugar coat things for people.
