Staring At a Freckle

Staring at a freckle
Misunderstanding her power
Deleting my feeble attempt at happiness
I sigh at my self-imposed, self-indulgent lunacy

who cares?
No one
A beauty mark in some circles
not considered a blemish at all.
Crazy feelings entertained freely by me 
which mean nothing

I pointedly ignore the freckle
the rest of my life...

Good idea, the older you get, the more they attach themselves to you.

I am so full of beauty marks I thought they were woodticks.
