What do you want to say? And can you do it?

Does anyone else ever feel like people would rather talk about trivial, nonsensical, what-not instead of discussing actual issues or making out-right statements? How does anyone get anywhere when everything that's said is double talk, or is a tool for beating around the bush? Why is it that teenagers seem to be the only ones that want to talk about issues? And everyone rolls their eyes and hopes the kid will shut up before someone gets offended? Or they're assuming the teen has no wisdom on the topic they want to talk about... is it possible they have no wisdom because no one is sharing? No one is talking, no one is saying anything... maybe it isn't just teenagers that don't have "the wisdom".

People are constantly offended by the things I say and most the time it's when I say something true that kinda kicks them up-side the head and makes them think about something they didn't want to be thinking about and were hoping they could keep ignoring by having everyone else ignore it too...

Well I'm here to say that I say things dammit. I'm not afraid of the truth. The truth hurts, sometimes, sometimes it really sucks. Sometimes the truth makes us really step back and feel the ache of actualization and realization that, "damn, that's harsh.." But what always follows? "But it's true." Everyone knows the truth hurts, everyone's felt the guilt sting, truth-wrenched gut, but I think I like those feelings. I think those feelings are more real than the giggle of "mother ease" that everyone resorts to when approached by an infant. Give me your naive and sensitive, give me your easily offended, they're easy prey for truth-filled drama. But it's those that feign being OK with reality and the harshness of truth that are the first to change the subject. Or what I really love, they get defensive. Like you said something about their mother and the milkman. They just don't know how to take it besides by getting angry and feeling attacked and abused. I'll show you attacked and abused, this is just the truth, just WAIT till I get to the exaggerated fictitious rumors, JUST WAIT!

No matter where I'm going with this, I want people to say something. If you have "The Mic"... THE MIC to the world, the one that is on air for those few moments when you decide to make a statement that you feel is worthy enough to address the whole world just to make that one statement, what are you going to say? "Hi"? What do you want to share? I've gotten to the point that people seem like they don't care to share their thoughts. I'm not talking about beliefs I'm not talking about religion or Christ. I'm talking about something that you feel needs to be said, to the whole forsaken planet, what do you want to say?

Don't sit there waiting for me to say it... I don't know what I'd say, I know if I had the opportunity by god I'd say SOMETHING, but I'd venture to guess many would opt to say nothing. Nothing. They'd want to take the option that says something about them and nothing is it. Nothing is what so many people wish to say. Am I a hippy because I think I'd want to say something about peace? or love? compassion or truth? I know I'd want to say something about something, at least I'd want to, rather than take a step back, away from "The Mic" and opt with cowardess and fear.
