Exhausting burden of “fitting in”.....


Poem Artwork

SIMMER DOWN A BIT


 


 


Peeling glassy curls


Beryl sapphire shimmer


So graceful


Infinite stimulation


Tranquilizing wetness


Cascades in brilliant favor


Obsessive magical moment


My troubles melt in the peaceful eddy


Moral majority think tank


Stuck in naive backwoods


Those who deem me bedlamite


Concerned that I “just don’t get it”


Grieve not my puffed up associates


I have no desire to perceive


Delusive adaptations


Brackish social squares


Me


A simple round projectile


Adrift on balmy seas


My condolences


Sincere sympathy


Goes out to the “in crowd” herd


Who graze in fields of faked out pretense


Simmer down a bit


Unclench those poor offended toes


Soak your feet in tidal pools of forgiveness


Exhaling red annoyance


Its life man


Human interaction


Not a staged performance


His peace remains abundant


Copious blessings


Flood our restless souls


Alas


The best intentions


Exhausting burden of “fitting in”


Leaves one rather weary


Gravely spiritless


Barren vessels of regret


Animate


Rejoice


Kindergarten mentality


A child of God


Serene

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
