Those complexities are what make us so unique !

I like it lady !

I’m going to keep on babbling
‘Til all my thoughts
like peas
are shelled
you grow weary
of muted listening
or I escape
from this prison cell
pulling the rug out
from under me
only fuels my will
to go on
to overcome tripping embarrassment
as I search
for where I belong
getting on your nerves
is my specialty
I’m like a wound
that just won’t heal
I’ll fester
until you notice me
and cause you pain
so I can make you squeal
this is what happens when loneliness
overtakes you
and your common senses
you keep opening yourself up
to anything that breathes
by letting down all your defenses
we know there’s someone
for everyone
but how many faces
must we look thru
hopefully the right one
will come along
and we’ll recognize them
when they do
if they’ve journeyed along
beside us
been fortunate to take in the view
they know what to expect
and will accept
all the complexities in us too
