Nothing Personal

Best be on my way 
I need to take care of me 
I must prune my garden vines 
and let the flowers breathe 
NOTHING PERSONAL 
I will walk away from you 
not because I don't love you 
but because I want to drink 
from the fountain of peace 
NOTHING PERSONAL 
The sun is warmer then hatred 
and my emerald soul feels 
greener then your jealousy 
I have nothing to rage about 
here in my atoned world of me 
NOTHING PERSONAL 
I am just a tired soul tired of fighting 
so I'm going to take a bottle of water 
from the fountian of forgiveness 
and , then , I best be on my way.

Excellent my friend. There are times when certain people that we know can get so tiresome. People whose silver cloud has a dark lining. A little time in this company can last a long time. As you say it's best to be polite and then just say you have something important to do and be on your way, Something like plucking your nose hairs or washing your hair, anything. Great job, loved this. A Fave. God Bless, JB
