Me being me.


Poem Artwork

I live in a box
I call it me
it has locks
I have the keys.
Sometimes I use them
others I refuse
sometimes I am confident
others confused.
My box has six sides
all are doors
or windows maybe
those times I'm not sure
need to see.
Most people think
I think out of the box
yet I am its victim
a price you pay,
for swimming against the tide
is like
banging your head against a wall
sometimes that is how it feels
meet a fool.
So welcome to my box
call you may
knock and I may answer
so long as the fool has not gone away.

WE'VE ALL GOT BOXES(SPACE). WE'VE ALL DRAWN-THE-LINE SOMEWHERE AND WE ALL THINK WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO POINT THE FINGER AND JUDGE ANOTHER WHO DOESN'T DO IT OUR WAY. WE ALL HAVE NOT 'ARRIVED', WE ALL ARE STILL TRYING, WE ALL...HAVE...BOXES. THANKS FOR SHARING, JOHN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

You certainly have the locks to your six sided box. And your "out-of-the-box" poetry is well worth reading and contemplating.

I love the idea of living in a box. We're like mimes trying to break free.
