I know why the caged bird sings

I'm not handsome, smart, successful, talented, funny, charming, interesting, courageous, or special but my mind is keen enough to know that and that's the problem. If I was less astute I could live my life without realizing that I'm in a<b> cage </font></b>of mediocrity with no escape. I could live my life without the feeling the crushing weight of not being special to anyone and not have these sad moments. And it wouldn't hurt so bad when I reach out to someone and they ignore me. But I keep reaching through the failure and rejection because I have the most seductive evil in the human heart...hope. There was a reason it was put into Pandora's box.

    Quoting  :
You're not too forward. Everything I post is fair game for questioning and or criticism so have at it.

I have read Dr. Angelou's work and heard her speak buy I didn't use the lessons I've learned from her in this post. I just ripped off the visual of a song bird locked in a cage but still calling out.

I will admit that I've spent much more than 10,000 hours putting myself down but I also will admit that I seem to have a much different gauge of assessment than most people. What most people think of as damaging crushing self criticism I think of as a fair assessment of my current position. It's not until I share some of the milder criticisms do I see how it might be damaging if I wasn't an expert.
