in the shadows

Sit up for me!
Spin time for me!
Jump hoops for me!
Play tricks for me!
Flashy gratitude
Broadway attitude,
only future,
lonely present,
empty platitude.

Write a poem for me!
Play with me!
Come nap with me!
Run away with me!
Promised ecstasy
endless fantasy,
no substance,
no meaning,
no reality.

Bad Day?

Sometimes I just need to be left alone too.

Understanding this perfectly. It's like being pecked to death by chickens.

Iceman, I think we all come here to try to get away, sometimes, don't we? It's bad, though, when it doesn't work, and the aggravations just keep pecking away!!LOL

Good write, as always!! LOL

Hmm! I was just wondering, is this what "performance anxiety" is all about? tehe


I'm always intrigued by your writing.
