Pimples, pimples
Rah rah rah.
Pimples, pimples
hah hah hah.
Ohhhh I hate pimples!
Pimples, pimples
Rah rah rah.
Pimples, pimples
hah hah hah.
Ohhhh I hate pimples!
Friends get hurt.
People are callous.
I was just joking!
Laughs are nervous.
No one wants to get Involved.
More friends get hurt.
The Game is no longer fun.
Do I accept my incompetence
at managing my budget?
My financial status is a sorry sight.
Do I give in to the temptation
of asking for help?
Yet again?
Or do I tough it out and let my family suffer?
I learn from the courses,
but the lessons do not stick.
I am in need of an accountant
who will only let me have my “allowance”.
I think I am doomed!
A temporary girlfriend!
Friends with benefits?
Fuck buddies!
A lover in modern times?
Why do all these terms
not include the feelings
of those involved?
It is passionate
or compassionate
and it is done with love.
It is not just the brush
It is the user.
Emotionally challenged.
Not sure she has the strength
to move forward with messy hair.
Comments will be made
but most of them
will be brushed aside.
It arrives on my desk.
Contents are a mystery.
Shall I push the envelope?
Move it aside?
Should I open it?
Is there something dreadful inside?
What if it is good news?
Who gave it to me?
What should I do?
I wonder if it is empty?
The joy of a prank?
Decision made.
I will be forever curious unless…
They hurt.
They incapacitate.
They last.
They can be invisible.
Healing will come.
But only if you have
the support needed.
Doctors can diagnose an injury,
but it is the ones who nurse
you back to health
that matter the most!
A jump from behind a corner.
A shriek of surprise.
Racing away giggling.
Footsteps running down the hall.
Tackled to the ground.
Cries of laughter peel through the house.
Questions arise concerning your purpose.
Some know immediately what they are meant to do.
Others will never know.
I still search for mine.
Though I know my impact will not be lessened
just because I know not why I am here.
Where this came from
I don’t know
It took my by surprise.
A pleasant surprise?
I’ll let you know
when I’m done!
