Please excuse me, <br />While I kick myself... <br />With a bit of bruising. <br /> <br />Only I can do this. <br />And I have proven it. <br />You can choose to stand back and watch. <br />Or assist if you wish! <br /> <br />Please excuse me, <br />While I kick myself... <br />With a bit of bruising. <br /> <br />I would not say it is enjoyed. <br />Nor do I inflict the kicking, <br />With a stiffer swiftness... <br />I'm sure you would employ. <br /> <br />But since I am doing it, <br />Submit your suggestions... <br />With multiple choices, <br />As to why I have reasons to abuse myself... <br />Where others find these 'areas' comfortably spreading. <br />And I am not pleased to sit with ease. <br /> <br />Please excuse me, <br />While I kick myself... <br />With a bit of bruising. <br /> <br />I have discovered myself to be impatient. <br />And if I inflict my own pain, <br />The sensation of it keeps me motivated. <br />Applied to re-energize, <br />An acceptance I reject and despise. <br />Upon the arrival of malaise. <br />Many express with wishes to have stay.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
