Between Obscure and Not At All

by S.J. Tyler

I know I’m not sufficiently obscure. Most people keep everything on the inside; I guess that’s not me. I leave everything hanging around my neck, and I carry my baggage across my chest for all to see. I’m begging for someone to notice me…
I know I’m not sufficiently obscure, like you. You bottle yourself up, and let the pressure build until I can easily see what’s on your mind. I should probably be a little more like that but I’m not. I tell you everything, more than you want to know. Things you probably regret hearing, but I don’t even realize that they may be inappropriate.
I know I’m not sufficiently obscure but you are overly obscure. You’ve left “sufficient” miles behind, as you did with “extremely” and “over the top”. My heart is beating bright and large on my sleeve while yours is buried deep under overcoats and layers of emotional decay. I know I’m not sufficiently obscure but there has to be some middle ground between where you are and where I am.
