Put it down! <br />Pick it up tomorrow. <br />It will be more relevant. <br />And then a defensiveness, <br />You now today hold that is senseless... <br />Will become easier for you to admit, <br />Without me being around to witness it. <br /> <br />Put it down. <br />Do not attempt to absorb any of this. <br />Your lack of comprehension, <br />Will only lead to an argument. <br />And just for the sake of peace and quiet, <br />I will pretend your thought process... <br />Does not inhibit your lack to exhibit understanding. <br /> <br />Put it down. <br />I am sure you will find some time... <br />To allow your mind to open. <br />And digesting what is being addressed, <br />Without me reminding you... <br />How disgusted you are with my directness. <br />And if I came to deceive you with sweetness, <br />Everything I said you would accept. <br /> <br />Put it down. <br />With me in your presence... <br />And handing you this message, <br />The only thing you will remember... <br />Is being upset. <br />Not by the message... <br />But by my presence you will not forget. <br /> <br />Put this down! <br />It will make more sense to you tomorrow.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
