Take my Heart
Wring it until it bleeds
Send it to the "How To Live With People School"
And bring it back to me
Here is my Ego
I'll give it to you for repair
Stroke it and make it well
I'll take it back when you are done
I'm giving to you my Misplaced Smile
Teach it how to spread good cheer and laugh again
To be a jolly good fellow
Back on my face it goes with glee
Here, right here is my Rogue Persona
Clean it up, comb its hair
Work miracles with the scoundrel in me
Replace it and I thank you
Please try to do something with Cynical Self
Give it a good talking to
Make it understand the good in man
Of course I'll reclaim it when you're done
I gladly give to you my Paranoia
If only until you can talk some sense into it
He may be incorrigible
After you've done your best return him to me

I know I ask of you a lot
Just try to give it your best shot
The parts you take from me are mine,
Please separate pearls from the swine.

I think the self-healing occurred in real time while you wrote this analysis of your personality. It is as if you had talked to your higher self and it reacted with deep understanding, making you feel better. You have this ability to put into very efficient words your anxiety.

I think no bleeding is necessary, maybe just a soft nudge, after all we are all confronted with our weaknesses ... it's our path of life and while we walk and act, we learn our lessons.

Ok my two cents...positive energy and love in your heart is its own reward. I find a great sense of peace in being the best I can be...on the other hand I am sensitive to a fault when I don't get that same energy/compassion/empathy and good will in return. No one can make me whole except myself. That being said, I am a piece of work in progress!!

I enjoyed your introspection JP.

Thanks Blues. Just spent seven hours in the ER. Infected toe. Antibiotics. Whew! Thank you for your point of view on the poem. You are right too.

Hi, Jerry!
I see you're self-critical here )
It would be nice to have such troubleshooter for our hearts!

Hello Gale, long time no see. I agree, it would be cool to have someone like that to deal with distasteful things. Then again, if we were smart enough we wouldn't do them in the first place.

Sorry to hear about your toe my friend. I read this when you first posted but wasn't sure how to respond. I'm glad I waited as the other comments are better than my first thoughts. I was thinking you had done a pretty good job of sorting yourself out and discovering your own pearls and forgiving your swine. Your biggest accomplishment is listening to others and believing them when they say good things about you...

Thank you, Lori, I appreciate your words. By the way sometimes the first thoughts are the best ones.

Yes, Jerry, I was mostly offline for half a year.
And truly said, we wouldn't
