blend all those icky "bad feelings"
blend them in a stinking, slimy black bag
make sure you get a chance
for some "hands-on" experience....
And really, why wouldn't you want to?
why wouldn't you want to feel
Filthy, from time to time??
You might finally get to
understand yourself
You might even pull
yourself off that
shelf....
but, then again,
it might cause you to go a little mad
You might suffocate on
All the reasons why
you might run away
from who you really
are
you gonna stay up there on that shelf??
Yes,
Run away
run farther than you've ever dreamed
run farther from what you really are
and when you finally,
finally, finally get there,
Try and tear off that
clinging black sac:

"Did it chase after me???" is what a stupid person realizes
"There must be more, everywhere" the para-schizo says
"I dind't get it all off the first time!!!!" screams the prude
"Person X or Simian Y...they did this to me" dreams Insecurity

--This goes on down the line,
every demi-urge with their arch-types in tow,
every conceivable facet above and below....
I just think: It's all coming from Inside.--

Been there. Done that


Love it!



!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might suffocate on
All the reasons why
you might run away
from who you really
are

Aww...I thought I was being original

Thanks Tammy, glad you enjoyed

Yo huckleberry, thanks for reading and your compliment, be seeing ya around

Hey cuz, thanks for the great read....

Is it safe to come off my shelf yet? (Peers over the edge and reddens at her blatantly flippant response)

It's good to see family around here

I'm a little confused here..........................

Dear Con-fusion,

What is the meaning of flippancy?


Sincerely,

Lost in the shuffle

Sorry Different, was having a moment there.
