Others are immature

 

The poet plots and plans his mind

writes words which can be viewed

strips the inner brain from the outer crust

depending on the mood.

Penning words that simply flow

from the deepest depths of his soul

not caring what the others feel

he acts and plays his role.

 

Sitting naked (but just in mind)

he scribes a point of view

and wishes that the inner strength

got his body in the nude.

The brain in tune with all himself

so that he can write as one

and the critics laugh at what he writes

and they giggle at his bum.

 

So the next time that you feel ill at ease

and you don’t feel so secure

let all your inhibitions run away

whatever you do be sure

to be at one within yourself

all the others are immature.
