Note To Selves

Trying to think of encouraging words to fold up and lose in my chest pocket And when I find this there folded up, and wrinkled what do i need to hear? what do i have to say? Quit being such a sucker, a generous heart is a blessing and an obvious omen Don't think for yourself all the time sometimes a person needs to know you would grant them the freedom you want Please strategise and compete, When you're done playing the fool, you can teach the best and favorites of what you've been taught Do try to not let it all go to your head Remind yourself of your flaws and work against the ones that nurture the others like a psychadelic exclusive disease of self righteous excuses Are you working again? Is it worth it or do you need a new tolerable reason to give up and leave the abuse? Did you find what you were looking for? Were you obsessed for too long working toward success and greed? Where are you blind, and does it really matter? If this moment was like a dream, then where are you in it? Whats going on and are you going to be right? Are you all right? Are you doing okay? Are you drinking or scared? Did you compromise to hide? Or openly run away?
