Am I mad, for I know that I need not go far to find this.
No.
It’s always there mocking me.
Perhaps it mocks you but doesn’t it save you?
What if I don’t want it to save me?
Well…
It’s back again. Yet still, I was ok without it.
Idiot it wasn’t gone. It was always there.
MOCKING ME!
Saving you.
Nah.
Get that stupid smile off your face then.
You get your stupid smile off your stupid face.
Jokes in my head. I am my own audience. The smile: it fades.
I am a person who is slowly beginning to understand the power words have in altering the very nature of the world people exist in. I did not have skilled speech when I was growing up but I did have the ability to write and talk with my written voice. I have learned and elevated my spoken voice over time but am ever improving as I learn new ways to produce the effects upon people I desire. It is not about controlling other people that I learn but about walking the path I want to in this interconnected world. View more posts
