Ode to my [Rarely Present] Filter
Stop it.
Driving me insane.
I don’t intend to
Drive others insane.
“ Oh her?
Yeah, she’s annoying.
Yes, him too. ”
Stop it.
People often overlook
This glaring issue.
Thank God.
I talk about other things
Positive things too.
Though still my mouth moves
In such a way as to push others away.
Stop it.
It makes me angry, as I think it should.
I don’t like being this way, though still,
I am.
Think to yourself,
Will this bother someone?
Probably, I remind myself.
Yet still, it moves.
Open, close, open close.
Stop it.
I try, I promise.
So please, bear with me.
It’ll be worth your while.
I hope.
