Compare and Contrast

I was thinking about those high school reunions again and how much or little some people had changed.

I was so young way back when

Did it show that I’ve grown up since then?

Did I seem mature

Or just insecure

Awkward and shy once again?

A classmate once told me that you could always tell when I was being nasty, because I had a big smile on my face.  Another classmate said I had the best smile in the 9th grade.

I was quiet and often tongue tied

With insecurities I struggled to hide

I had very thin skin

And lashed out with a grin

And my critical sarcastic side.
