The Getting On My Own Nerves Phase

"Suiting myself", weird expression Giving the totally wrong impression I wouldn't select me to take off the shelf Weird expression, "suiting myself" "Do what I want", is that a choice If I'm doing that I really should rejoice Why am I not feeling all nonchalant Is that a choice "do what I want" I'll talk it through, to feel better Also send my pen pal a letter Though there's a chance to misconstrue To feel better, I'll talk it through If I had a clue, might sort myself out Instead of sinking into mire of self doubt Have a plan I'd definitely pursue Might sort myself out, if I had a clue

Question who were you before ? Go find that girl.Reading your posts though I know it will be upsetting to me I am compelled to reach out as a mentor who wasted 22 years second guessing looking for some proof it wasn't so.It was so.Only you know kid .I remember the day that truth could no longer be denied.He did not love me,hell he didn't even love himself and I would never be able to love him enough to change that fact.Realizing this I no longer took it personally. Wish you the best.

It's hard to pin down the situation - he isn't a bad guy and if things are fine then I don't even know what I knew in the moments when things weren't fine - so that doesn't help. I'm more enlightened now x

AH, the continuum of contradictory cliches. You've got some nerve.

Talking it through is always a good idea Dilly, but I’ve a habit of talking it through with myself, (I wouldn’t select me to take off the shelf) I can feel the duality in that line, a brilliant introspective poem, cheers David
