Me?

Still in progress. Ramblings of a unsound mind.

I'm not hard to figure out

Sometimes I scream to be let out

of the box that has me tied up in

NOTS

Did I mispell that word; I think Knot!

 

I do what I like, as long it's dictated by

a degree on the wall from the person

I'm sitting across and behind.

 

I try to do my best, but it doesn't

seem to matter, someone is always

mad at me for one stupid reason or

another.

 

I could use fancy words that make people

think,

I could be careless and drop my hairtie

down the sink, but today I choose to

wear the mask of common sense, even

though no one will notice.

 

I find I dream about a better place, with pastures

and flowing rivers, dragons and unicorns, and

little trolls playing horns and then I hear

the horn of a car and I'm back on the

road being a taxi wearing metal scars

 

I'm a fighter and I love and I hate to be wrong

I'll try a situation out first even if it proves me wrong.

 

Perfect?  Ha, that's a laugh

I don't even come close, I would

rather be sitting in comfortable clothes

on the couch.

 

I would love to be lazy, but no one will let me be

My children screaming my name; why can't they

just let me be?  I want to rest and my head keeps

running circles over me. 

 

I love to love, hate and especially dream.

Yup, this is definitely you!! Great job.
When I read this I picture you in your hated green and khaki uniform sitting in the passenger seat of Epic with a DnD tea in one hand and a cigarette(oops sorry you quit)in the other talking to me about how no one will let you be you. Dude, haven't you figured it out yet, that the only one who won't let you be you IS you...why do you want to be someone else, you are the greatest person I know. Why do you care so much about what others think about you? YOU are and always shall be a WONDERFUL, TALENTED, INTELLIGENT person. If others can't see that, oh well, that's their loss, tell them to go shut the F!@K UP and to talk to me. :-)

Love ya,
Christine :-)
PS. I really love this line: "I love to love, hate and especially dream." Great ending to a great poem.
PSS. Oh and fix this..."I'm fighter and I love and I hate to be wrong" should be I'm A fighter...
Love ya :-)
