I ran across this the other day and thought how much it still applies



They say
Confession is Good for the Soul
So here is mine
Sometimes
I write something that accidentally
Sounds like I know
What I’m talking about
That sounds thoughtful
Intelligent
Sane
Don’t let it fool you
It’s purely coincidental
A freak trick of wording that isn’t likely
To happen again
Any time soon
In case there is any doubt
The only thing
Between me and the straightjacket
Is years of
Practice
At appearing normal
And sane
At not answering
The voices
When they talk to me
In front of others
So don’t ask me for advice
Don’t take any
I’m offering
And
Never
Ever
Think
For one moment
That
I
Am
Right
About anything
Thank
you

hehe. That's a cool poem.
But you know what - I don't believe you!
Your poems are too good to be purely coincidental.

Dear Sue,

Intersting, but it's wonderful to allow thought to overtake sometimes, and coincidental is good. Super write enjoyed this.

warm hugs

Killer With Black Blood by James Hill

Nicky Nails Rocci will be New York’s Godfather even if it kills him. Bulletproof MoJo Johnson won’t let a little thing like death stand in the way.
