It's Still There

Rub it Itch it Pick at it Scratch it Doesn't help does it? Ignore it Suppress it Disguise it Conceal it It's still there isn't t? Reshape it Disable it Return it Remove it Shred it Bury it Drown it Burn it It still haunts you doesn't it? -- Let it go Float away Come the dawn of A new day

How else shall we waste our precious energy? And what ever will we do with so much freedom on our hands? ;) This sounds like a New Year's Wish ~ the best ever! :)
