I Am Not An Asshole, Yeah Or Maybe I Am

But ifya wanna call me one is ok ~~~~~~~~ bows to feng shui ~~~~~~~~~ i sometimes dance to giddiness i sometimes dance to sorrow i sometimes can't find uncensored tunes to dance to gotta get up tomorrow to whom ever's drumming ~~~~ as some would have it grin ~~~~ as others would have it chagrin ~~~~~ Right isn't so important when ya need help we've all been taught needing help is sign of weakness.... ~~~~~~~~~~~ I beg to differ. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Throw it in there seriously c'mon how much have ya to lose?

A poem to ponder...insightful, too. (And thank you for being a community builder and for unselfishly sharing your time to read and encourage poetry on this site. My life took a swift new direction about 8 months ago, and I have not been able to reciprocate. My thanks go to every community builder who enjoys poetry and encourages other poets, like I once tried to do. I love you…all! Lovingly, Dane Ann)

Be strong, know yourself and whatever other say will lose its meaning. (Unless they say something flattering.) Tony

An interesting hodgepodge of reflections on life,Nancy. I liked the way you used the word grin, and then changed it to Chagrin. How different those two words are!! I really liked the part about dancing too. And also dancing to different drummers, you could throw in there!
