The S****y View From The Bottom of a Port-A-Loo

define myself? 

oh no thank you 

I wish to 

kindly 

staunchly

lovingly 

refuse 

tell me please

why 

should I ever wish to 

define myself 

and in doing so 

contain 

box 

mould and set 

myself into 

something, someone 

who I move away 

from with 

each passing moment

(it’s called evolving)

surely if I say

I am he, she, this or that

you will arrive on my doorstep 

with preconceived 

ideologies of 

who, what, when, why and how 

I should be acting 

no thank you 

there are already 

too many narrow-minded,

blind to reality, 

folk in this world 

I don’t want none

knockin’ on my door late at night

preachin' at me the many layers 

of how not to live side by side 

and how not to be in love with 

all in existence

oh dear 

not only do 

I find myself yawning 

at the very concept 

of self-definition 

purely out of 

boredom's sake 

I also quite honestly feel 

it is a mix of 

three day old

human faeces 

found at the 

bottom of an 

unkempt port-a-loo

S**T! 

yes it’s all s**t!

the faeces no longer needed

cast out 

expelled 

S**T remains - -

we move on 

my goal has never been 

to see the view from 

the bottom of a port-a-loo 

stale and

stagnant -

- is self definition

find me 

in the river 

you know the one 

past all definition 

I shall be 

floating 

formless 

free 

jump in

Yes, of course. Labels, definitions, and the like, while they help us define our world also limit our perceptions of it of ouselves and each other. Excellent thought provoking work!!!

Hey D and thanks for stopping by :)

we need labels to tell ourselves that we are really here, that the world does indeed exist - shame that we humans have taken it to the enth degree .... much love across the seas X

Being true to oneself is one of the hardest things to do. You have shown us how don't put up with s**t be who you are .... Really enjoyed this!

OH my giddy aunt. You hero, you! Non.stop red.ripe 'here's how it is, here's how I AM!

Love the power of this, truly appreciate the flow of thought, and, what's more - you still stress the style and skill of its more than worthy Poetry groove. Laughed, cheered, sat back and.. read it again!

This was interesting to read KWP, the second part of the piece was a little shocking but the ending made me laugh...
