twisted up inside

Post by saw » October 8th, 2022, 9:46 am

the neon bible glows inside them
though not all of them talk about Jesus
it's just the uber pius Uber drivers

the ones folks like to follow in some circles
and circles is the key word here
'cause you're never going to get anywhere

it's easy to find followers these days
'cause few think for themselves anymore
I know this, because I read the "news"

and I don't really dislike them, I just want them
to mind their own business
I don't give a damn who they are, what they believe

See how easy it is

defending your choices is tiresome
it takes a lot of energy to explain and is needless
but some people get edgy when you don't behave

the way they think you should, it seems to rock
their very foundations, they get all
twisted up inside
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

I like this
But it gets me on a soapbox
Of whatever the moment begets
I want to share that it is so not my business what anyone thinks of me

I had to learn to color outside the box to surrvive

Most people that have crayons always want to color
In the lines They feel uncomfortable when things do not go as planned
I have to laugh
WhAt goes as planned?
I think my all around the world friends
Are very naive about
What the average person has to do to surrvive

And well
It is pretty bazaar
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans"....John Lennon

thanx judih and jana......many seem to follow this peculiar script that they believe keeps safe and warm.... from people like me perhaps......and what am I doing ?......nothing.....nothing at all......just being me.....not hurting a soul

But wouldn't you be happier doing X, Y or Z ?.........NO....No I wouldn't.......why is that so difficult to comprehend ?

No
My friend “ bobo” is part mermaid— she taught me that people are “too busy thinking about themselves- and well - it’s not personal “
She taught me other stuff too

Old hippies are priceless
