Best Takes One To Know One Poems

-This buds for you!-
-It takes one to know one!-
-I know you are, but what am I?-

A second hand, on my stopwatch, going nowhere!
You are a joker, a smoker, a midnight stroker  
<-------How, about that, Steve Miller song

I'm not here to talk about the way...

The old, the new barely meet on the street of Bardstown road, yet diversity so unique, from Cherokee to the rarity, stepping forth in time with the antique structures surrounding you, from magnetic tape recordings to punk truly a highland of culture. The Victorian and...

Defined By Idioms

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race
rotten egg, bad to the bone
eagle eye, no place like home.
bat from hell,
pulled punch
big cheese, 
no free lunch
can of worms, bleeding...

Now I am sitting alone in this
Funny wagon with my boom box
and minding my own business
along with a bunch of numskulls
who thinks I am a nutcase like them—
What a drag! And they think we are
all going to a Funny Farm where
they take those who go...

When I was 19 years old
I collapsed on my twin size collegiate bed
With my head in my hands
And I sobbed
Because for the first time in my shallow existence 
My carefully curated victim complex was shattered 
And I realized 
I
Was not a good person

Cross my heart...

I never talk to strangers anyways.

Stop me if you've heard this one.
I feel as though we've met before.
Perhaps I am mistaken
but it's just that I remind you 
of someone you used to care about
But that was long ago.

Do you think I'd fall for that?
I wasn't...

Why do they say

you can't take money with you when you go?
So what do you do if you go out shopping?

The grass is 'always greener on the other side?
Not if you have a sandy beach on the other side

You can't always get everything you want?
Have...

-Society's view of the normal person is so far off that I am yet to meet a single person that has told me that they are this normal we speak of. Nobody meets the unwritten requirements of this conceptualized normality that we use so loosely....

Number Four

It takes one to know one, I'm sure you'd agree
As it takes two to tango on a grand ballroom floor
I've heard it's a crowd when the digit hits three
So you really must go now, as your number is four!

All these thing you say to bring me down.
Guess what you can say them again because I don't care.
You think every word is painful.
Idiot what's painful is seeing you try to hurt me.
You can run your mouth and assume false things.
But girly nothing you say...

I’m willing to care for myself and believe in a higher power, which is God of course I must admit!
An inner peace that shares with me unconditional love - my broken-hearted spirit adores it
Restoring sanity in my life of strife and sin
Where do I begin...

Of saints,
it has been said,
It takes one to know one.

Of demons,
it might be said,
It takes 1 2 no 1....

'It takes one to know one', so they do state,
but that won't take you far,
as we're never told exactly who these 'they' are.
'It's not what you know, it's who you know',
so the saying goes,
but the devil is in the details,
and I say, 'It's what you...

You may say I'm crazy
but as it takes one to know one
do you have what I've got
if I am are you too
and am I nuts to think I'm not
the shrink he's not telling
despite all my yelling
he only asks how it makes me feel
it's quite a...
