Life With a 'My' In Front
'That aint me!
I wouldn't be caught doing that.'
That's why I call this process...
*My Life*
You get it?
That's 'life' with a 'my' in front.
As is given to me to live.

Much More Than a Hobby
Much more than a hobby...
This!
More serious than I dare to admit.
And not doing it...
To compare talents.
And/or indulge others' gifts.
This is quite different from that!

To Prove They Exist
At one time,
I use to think...
People who didn't care about others,
Did not exist.
Today...
It is rare to find people,
Who actually care!
And do it to prove they exist.

With An Attitude Seen To Do It
If I hopped to skip,
To then jump through hoops...
With an attitude seen to do it,
Sweating from heat and at high noon.
Guess who's business the doing of this,
Would be?

Unprotected
Expansive limitations of ego...
Confines common sense!
And splintered glass,
Finds an unprotected foot...
Hopping below,
One bestowed...
And doesn't know.
With high ass!

Full
To the rim.
It gets full.
Spilling.
It can be used.
To soak a sponge.
If it was liquid.
But it just sits,
Evaporating its contents.
Whatever the act of the intention meant!

Often The One Scoped
He who scopes upon another,
With wishes to take away, claim and fake...
Is often the one scoped,
With an acknowledgement of his true deeds.
And is one known to be a faker.

Knees Trembling
The extremist will exaggerate,
The stepping away from a comfort zone.
Only to seek validation...
From anyone who had not observed,
Knees trembling as the tip toeing began.

Remove Yourself
If you can not make a stand
For anything you believe today.
And you constantly make excuses.
Rehashed and replayed?
Remove yourself out of the way,
Of those you slow down!

Just An Innocent Question
Do I what?
Am I prepared to take responsibility...
For 'your' actions?
Huh?
'Hey?
Why are you running away from me.
Hey...
Yo,
It was just an innocent question.
HEY...'
