Neurotic Shifting

Remote rantings....

You call me utterly neurotic

whilst you're truly psychotic

tread lightly on my spine

it you want to share my time

do not assume to read into me

what you merely cease to see

my house is resilient as fiberglass

don't presume to tell me 'this too shall pass'

when your footprints press inward my sand

then you can clearly envisage where I stand

Sometimes our perception is off, and we try too hard to understand...when it is not necessary. (just see it for what it is, for the time being) ~Do you know the old saying? ~'When you "assume", you make an "a*s" out of "u" and "me".' ;)
Very nice couplets...I like it Frieda! I used to write alot of these... :)

Thanks Robbie, just something I needed to get off my chest, yes, I'm heard, I don't think some people have though, that's the problem! ;-)

[Robbie~xoxo~]

well I've made an "a*s" out of myself many times! LOL
So I'm not assuming ever again....at least I will try my best not to. You have expressed your heart well, lovely Frieda!...keep writing!

[Frieda P]

I've learned after all these years, to keep my big mouth shut unless I have all the facts, and it's worth giving my opinion, well, sometimes anyway. ha
Thanks, you're a sweetheart Robbie!

Frieda, sometimes I wonder if you speak as well in verse. These words seemed to flow from you and I can only pray no one ever shuts off the tap. Great job my friend and I am sure whoever this was directed at got the message.

That made me laugh dear Jack, many have tried, but with my big mouth, that's nearly an impossibility. The guilty party's never do, thus the rant! Thanks so much for a smile this morning.

boundaries are a cool topic, what is your secret to writing so much?

[Frieda P]

Insanity? It's the only thing that keeps me semi-sane in all honesty-thanks needed to purge this one.

But Fri, I'm pretty sure poetry makes people go more crazy! Not less.

The evidence of all those suicidal poets is pretty clear.

Or is it just mental illness being correlated with creativity? It's an interesting question.

[Frieda P]

Who's to say they wouldn't be here if they didn't write it.................

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

suicide prevention, is that what we are talking about? Art as saving grace! It's tempting to want to be saved by something I guess, if it's not Love, it might as well be art xD

[Frieda P]

works for me ;-)
