How Hardheads Must Feel

Today I am going to imagine getting into the brain of a hard head.
Someone who never changes their mind or entertains a new thought.
This is fiction so be kind to me.
This is what I have imagined they think: 

My mind is made up; it is hardening as I speak.
Soon there will not be any “maybe” or “ifs” left.
I am  rapidly closing, hard and fast; tightly shutting down.

I refuse to allow any information, facts or reverse thoughts to enter my brain. 
I am proud of my enthusiastic unwillingness to hear or see. 

I will not abide any new material or information in.
My mind is made up, loud and clear; pleasing me greatly.

Why don't I have any friends?
Why don't the relatives return my phone calls?
Why is everyone so mean to me?

Virginia Gelok October 14, 2021 at 4:28 PM I know of this person you speak! I am sure you must have met them to write so clearly about a hard head. Great verse. Caren Krutsinger October 15, 2021 at 11:13 AM I know them, I am related to them, I run from them.

L Milton Hankins October 14, 2021 at 1:31 PM Ah, I think you've hit the nail on the head, Caren. No one wants to be around someone who has already made up his/her mind about everything and leaves no room for logical discussion. I have learned to just move on and not give time to these kinds of folks. Every day, in every way, I am here to learn!!!! Caren Krutsinger October 15, 2021 at 11:13 AM I learn something new hourly.
