speak my mind

Bernie? ok nah…just speaking your mind would mean saying how it is, saying how you feel. I wouldn’t dare do this with this person…only in my screwed up dreams.

I was thinking about this entry and really I don’t want to do it in a mean spirited way, but I want to. I have a situation that occured with a few co-worker’s, I expected them to tell the truth about a situation but instead they have all down played it. I know they fear losing their job’s and I can understand that, but one in particular really surprised me. A Bible thumping christian who was always preaching about the importance of telling the truth and alway’s trying to shove his religion down everyone’s throat. He saw thing’s that he knew weren’t ok and now he too is down playing them. I have seen him on occasion and instead of approaching him I hold back and never say anything. I don’t want to hold back anymore…I want to speak my mind. I want him to know that I trusted him and thought that if anyone would speak up he would, and that I think he is a coward hiding behind a bible. Ok but maybe not those words. humm I don’t know how to say it without sounding like a pissed off individual. I am pissed.

I do this, but not enough and sometimes I hold back…and I need to realize that sometimes people won’t like what they hear, but they will get over it. And isn’t it a form of empowerment?
