A Hypocrite Yells At Clouds
a poem
It is the most unabashedly selfish act to wait until judgement day
In a vain attempt to shield the perceived unpleasantness of things you wish not say
Harsh but think it through
You know I speak true
Why must we admit only at the pulpit
Our loves, respects, ills, and inane bullshit?
Forgo your selfish fears, phony
Do it now like Arnie
I love you
I hate you
I respect you
I loathe you
Let them slap you
Spit at you
Hug you
Kiss you
Whatever fear you have
I can promise you that
Facing a reddened face is better
Than one dark, cold, and gray
So let us proclaim
That which we refrain
Embrace mediation
Embrace celebration
A hollow hypocrite is me
Proclaiming my own shortcomings with glee
Now my face is red
And empty is my head
So like Bilbo I say
I’m tired now, good day!

A/N:
Yeah soapbox time. I suck at saying what's on my mind, or expressing my emotions in general. I think it's why I gravitate toward writing. There is calm in the gentle order of words on proverbial paper. The psychologist I should probably have (let's be honest, we all should) would have a field day with that...Anywho, I've also felt a little...lacking when it comes to inspiration. So, I said fuck it and wrote this stream of conscious mess of half baked rhymes and imagery, presented without edits, revision, any form of quality control; all things that make my skin crawl...because what's better than letting out our unedited, unchecked thoughts?
...And now back to my hobbit hole.
