To continue? not a bad idea
a bad idea to feel bad
left hooked then left
again already irritated
actually just circle
to analyze
the Scapegoat –
Lost the matter
Gone a month to describe
the sense (like not many
make it passed the firewall)
I told them I don’t talk
how long? it’s weird
freeing and for the best
My Journal, officially all my own
everything has shaken
a dark unwilling wall
look at the
lot dancing in my head
frustrated for the weekend
only wants what’s best
I want to spend time surprised
we handle things how
handle things yet
the territory to listen
to listen
take it into account
what’s going
what’s going on
do not expect me to blur
the emotional returns
“I’m mad–“ I write
two dozen times
