Take Your Time

I should go to sleep I'm just drinking tea on my own Taking time to think Defining myself via audience feedback I'm the tornado that takes people out of Kansas for a while I'm the expert opinion people seek out I'm the negotiator, mediator, safe space But I'm tormented by this idea I need to take up less time There's a lot of truth in it He's right but he's wrong I could go on to explain but then I prove his point.

We become prisoners of our own thoughts...this poem takes the camera inside the mind. Excellent last line DD.

Thanks Paul, it's quite challenging when defending you POV plays into the hands of the other party. I definitely need to give it more thinking time. Thanks for today's comments, always appreciated x
