I can take it.
I don't mind being vulnerable,
emotionally naked.
I'm not a little kid,
I won't try to escape it.
If it's a hard truth,
I'll turn around and face it.
I have a good sense of self,
criticism I can accept.
Secrets and hard truths
are most hurtful
when they are kept.
I can take it,
no need for euphemisms.
Tell me straight up,
the deepest of your wisdom.
I want to hear your opinion,
I'm interested,
I'll listen.
Learning is hard when
the feedback isn't given.
I can take it
no matter how much it hurts.
No matter how much
I think I deserve or
disagree with what I've heard.
Tell me! Say it now!
I don't want to have
to ask you again!
I can take it.
I can take it.
I'm pretty sure that I can.
