Are you
straightforward
or devious,
duplicitous, sly, oily
hypocritical, selfish
self-centred, proud
pretentious, bossy
secretive, provocative
or honest,
with integrity,
even if you
mess-up sometimes,
put your foot in it
hasty, thoughtless, stupid
get irritable, impatient
have to apologise …
?

I like the way you've structured your poem Rhiannon. And I like a poem that asks questions and / or makes me think, as this does.

I suspect I may be a little of all of those things.

Thanks. I wanted to highlight the difference between making mistakes, and behaving wrongly but being willing to acknowledge, with hiding (masking) failings, and being two-faced. If we are open with others, they can forgive and understand, and so with God too. Rhiannon

Something for everyone! I hope I'm the latter person, but who really knows?

Thanks! If we acknowledge we're not perfect, we're getting on better than if we pretend (to ourselves, others) that we are! Rhiannon

You ask relevant but rhetorical questions, Rhiannon.
A good take on the Inspiration Point.
