This is Growing up on Grand

you're very loyal spending day in and day out with her , wrapped around your finger

so tight no ones going anywhere. 

you have no plans to travel
living endlessly together in a Chinese finger puzzle.   
Well, lets talk about acceptance and commitment therapy-
trying too hard to solve everything that can be overcome by just relaxing..
but how to separate two people both raised in the codependent inner circles
of friends and family - yes
how can you be a beautiful mess?
Because that is the best you're ever going to get..

So now i'm trying to figure out whos fault this is
Normally i blame myself, but you're such an easy target
tattooed on your chest in all the blood i left in your apartment.
but i get the point honey, so you don’t have to make it.

Now why work for a goal if you don’t have to? like i had anything but high hopes for

you .

and your 36 years of experience .  

Just enough to treat me like a client  -   IEPS IFSPS  -
and the individualized goal-oriented therapy program you’re trying to establish
so we can have a drink and kiss to recommence the cycle.  Just pick up where you left

off because i can speak in full sentences . 

we're all hurting inside but some of us are just better at hiding it. 

And fucked up people like yourself are just better off denying it.

Bullshit

If your poetry makes no sense then I'll stop writing verse. Oh, I have stopped and changed to prose but I'm coming back and when I do, I'm going to spend some time reading and re-reading your voice because it is clear, honest, and in the face of the listener/reader. A rare quality in versification skills. That's how I see you. Encore. Encore. Encore! - Just Bein' Lady A
