Array ( [sid] => 116541 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Casual Casualties [time] => 2006-03-16 21:40:52 [hometext] => [bodytext] => senseless words,
pointless chatter,
useless banter,
yet I gather
the harsh insult hidden underneath
you don't have to sugar coat it for me
I understand if it's found wanting
the process is sometimes truly exhausting
but I try
I really try
the heart is there everytime.

In fact I don't quite understand
your terminology
it leaves me wondering
is it good or bad
it's strange that it feels so sad
because you have wounded me
quite unexpectedly.

And I wonder your goal
what was it you were hoping
that I would stop
give up
put down the pen?
Well, I'll let you in
on a secret
I write in the moment
enjoy where it's going
because I get to be a different me
one removed but still connected to everything.

This is my itch and I do my best to satisfy it
A whim?
you wish
So be careful next time when you load the canon
that is your mouth
It's not that I'm sensitive
but maybe you didn't realize I do this in complete seriousness.
