Be Careful With Yourself

laughing during lunch
happily poking some fun
at self as I can take it
until I cannot
the others go way too far
and I have myself to blame

I had to take another look at this one. I had forgotten I wrote it.

Good for you, you can admit it; I have known people who wouldn't, couldn't blame themselves for anything if their lives depended upon it; they're so perfect.

I have a habit of surrounding myself with imperfect people as I like their souls better.
