There is no hidden desire I have, <br />To know what it is you think. <br />Or had thought! <br />Or the process used by you, <br />To generate comprehension. <br />I am not in doubt nor do I have questions. <br /> <br />However, <br />I will mention this for updating purposes... <br />Your beliefs, <br />Are clearly observed. <br />With your thoughts about yourself, <br />And environment not kept secret. <br />They surround you exposed like a bad habit. <br /> <br />And I know the difficulty of confronting issues, <br />After years of dealing with denial and addictions. <br />And being baited to debate the obvious, <br />With you or anyone else... <br />Would not do justice, <br />To a consciousness I've earned while yearning. <br /> <br />I've already learned the expense of my own ignorance. <br />Why should I reminisce in a wallowing away in visit with you? <br />To who's benefit would that foolishness prove? <br />And... <br />That is not a request for a response from you. <br />I think you perceive me as vulnerable! <br /> <br />I have chosen to move forward. <br />Taking backward moves to make excuses, <br />Are not, is not and will not be... <br />On my agenda! <br />To prove I can make mistakes...? <br />I've done!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
