Something That Is Personal

THERE's SomeThing PErSonAL

I wonder what it'd be like...
If "It's nothing personal" meant what they say?

I have found, somebody is perfect; because when nobody is looking...I still am. 
Looking at myself, wondering, who have I become? 

Please tell me. 
Show me the way.

If my life ends its flight and tomorrow becomes too real to find what's lost when passing shades forget about today...?

Please tell me.
Show me the way. 

Lead me now. 
Lead me on my journey to find something that is personal.

'It's nothing personal' is a defensive remark. Used exactly in the way Paloma and FJ said. And yeah defensive. Because just in case you want to say something in return, they can always hold their hands in front of them and repeat 'it's nothing personal, didn't I say so already'.

I think so too...I am all about equality! We all play our roles and are equally responsible for modeling the overall popular opinion—which consists of highly mixed reviews.

Isn't that why some folks "cling to their bibles"? Thought provoking write Zinkster...

It's always personal, no matter what 'they' say! The journey is long, hang in there. :)
