Know Thy Self

Hm, if I could do it all over again-

Who the hell wants to repeat that mess?

I could think of a couple things I’d do differently-

Like not crawl out of the womb?

But all in all, I think everything turned out about right.

Ya never won the lottery didja sport?

The joys and scintillation of that inner dialogue.

“Oh sake can you see...”

Getting to know and understand myself

“By the dawn’s early light...”

Feeling the confidence and pride that comes with perseverance

“What so proudly...”

Toward finding that timid inner child

Skip it, “THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR...”

Love, love will keep us together.

Yeah? Listen buddy, if’n I had it to do all over again, I’d of ditched your ass on beat one.

I’m sensing some passive aggressive hostility

Yeah?

Well, it seems that way

Must be the bag of greasy coney dogs ya ate at the carnival last night or somethin’

Well all this talk of reliving my life has got my stomach a bit queasy, I’ll take a Bromo-Seltzer.

Yeah, you be sure an’ do that.
