Not Ready To Be Me Yet

Not ready to be me Yet Waiting for inspiration So I can be nice today Shaking my dendrites up With black coffee Which is not any more ready Than I am Crawl back into my comfort cocoon For a few minutes I think Eyes wide awake Knowing I cannot do this any longer It is time to be me now. I have to be on. I have to be happy. I have to be the one Who uplifts the world. It is too daunting. My eyes shut. Hard But pop right back open I have to be me. Now.

Great write. I like what Richard Lamoureux said; however, forget the shoes... where's my booties.. I want my mama! But seriously... there are times when the only thing that gets me up is the fact that it's not going to get any better than Now! Besides! Life has sent out Rsvp's to come share in the living. You gotta be in attendance, you know it won't be fun without ya***Niyna

I would probably miss myself too.

I think I will shun my responsibility and be someone else today. Now where are thier shoes?

I think they are in the mud room next to the purses.
