let’s try breathing

Posted on February 21, 2018March 16, 2018 by saynotoclowns Posted in a little fun or something, General bewilderment, PoetryTagged cyber bullying, gossip, media manipulation, murray, reality, superficiality, the wiggles

passing around

these truths like hot potatoes

coming aground

on sooths from tenured sayers,

this chartered territory

is predictable and ~~free~~ not free

let’s try this other fork

in the ~~road,~~ ~~forest~~, ~~desert~~, ~~Wiggles song~~, ~~social media~~

mind map

to our lungs…

I, oh so love, that Murray is in this…

Lyrics:

I don’t really like people
Such a thorn in the side of me
And I don’t really, like being
Or feeling boring, or try to fake
Cause I don’t really like people
Making comments, about my teeth
And I don’t really, like seeing
The news today, I’m trying to breathe

After this, I feel I like you more
I feel I like you
After this, I feel I like you more
I feel I like you

I don’t really like people
Making comments, behind a screen
Cause I don’t really, mind being
On my own, just for a day
Sometimes I’m feeling, that people
Keep on talking over the top of me
Then I see what, you’ve created
I get forgetful but excited
Excited

After this, I feel I like you more
I feel I like you
After this, I feel I like you more
I feel I like you

I’m not saying it’s all too late
They’re calling my name
They’re calling my name
It means too much, but it’s all the same
I’m not saying it’s all too late
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
I wake up in the morning and it’s all been changed

After this, I feel I like you more

  hi. thank you!
  I’m glad, I laughed too, i love it. Having Murray in there was a stroke of comedic genius haha (And for those who don’t know him, he was in the Australian tv show for kids, the Wiggles)

9 out 10 people recommend breathing. The 10th is usually found dead of suffocation.
Mind-map, chartered-yet-not-free territory, hot potatoes, and oh Lord the lyrics to that song. This was a nice nice nice post.

You have a way with words that play creatively in the process of finding hope close to our hearts and feel relaxed at the same time. Beautifully well written and I enjoyed the music so much. 🙂
