my oldthink...

feeling sorry for myself

became pathological

hell, even neurological

way back in the hazy days

in fearless retrospect

it was just a lame excuse

to hide from the wonder of life

unable to ever hide from me

I fancied myself an orphan

though I had Parents who loved me

I imagined myself a refugee

though all I ran from was in my head

alas, that's the key

it was all in my head

so today I'll try to think less

and follow my heart to happiness

Author's Note

There I go again , mooning y'all with a bared soul...

. very inspiring ... very sensitive ... and very skillful ... the thought progression is amazing ... it is as if the reader reaches ... an irrefutable conclusion ... along with the writer ... that last line is specially beautiful ... "heart to happiness" has beautiful alliteration ... and a universe of meaning ...

Its what makes a poet. The being able to write about pain even though its only imagined.

Yes there you go again....This was great!!
The one person we can never hide from is ourselves.
The ending was the bomb...our mind does seem to get more in the way than our heart. If more people thought with their heart...just think...WOW

Self criticism is rarely just my friend.
I found your words oddly reassuring for no apparent reason.
As I grow older I find myself wondering what it was all about trying to be what others expected of me. At last I can be myself.
