To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Stay in your cocoon

That is best

The world outside

Will never stop

To think you might not

Work that way

That your mind does not

Tick that way

They will never get you

Try as you might

To write and write

Till your fingers grow hoarse

Of spewing words

In the hope

They will bring some modicum

Of understanding

But when the time comes

Remember

They won’t

The world does not

Work that way

They will not care

That you tick

By a different clock

That God made you

Dance to your own tune

They will make you

Stand military style

Because that is what

Everyone does

Why did you do this

How awkward, how strange, how weird

They will say

And you will not have

Any answer

You cannot say

Remember I said

That is not my way

They will laugh

Are you from another world?

This world

Doesn’t work this way


~ Me
