I took the exit ramp
from the highway
  I was not traveling down
And then..
I was sitting there...
...beside myself
on the shoulder
all this time

Doing naught for that mission
I had been on for a long long time
somehow I had become the middleman
between me and yeah... Who else?

Who else could it be
that keeps getting in my way?
the only living soul that I
could ever truly trust
to make sure that it really was
what we both thought
we were seeing!
so if becomes necessary to verify
then we both have each other's back
then that would mean... no truth
or even lies
could ever come between
So then... any flaws for they obviously do exist
will manifest because
each is looking
In opposing directions
although I would insist that I'm looking straight ahead
you would so do as well
then would that-not mean... that everything
is being seen
for the truth that it really is? Yes?

Still there are those... I suppose
who will try to intervene
attempting to fix what isn't broke
like a hammer being beaten in by a 6 penny nail
No way!
No way!!
So shall I drop my guard
where any friend is concerned?
even though they probably said
I'm filling my head
with unnecessary dread
I may get frozen out
or I might...
.. find I'm being burned.

I know this guy and I do not know why
he sometimes thinks the way he does
becoming angry at what might yet come to be
And forgetting what was really was as you're to see
In this   I. E.
Were we each tasked to walk
from point A to point B
through the Woodlands
in a straight a line as can possibly be... he...
would spend his energy cussing out
... every single tree for being... And for being in his way.
Whereas for me
The problem does not arise..
Simply because..
I took into account the trees do exist
and that's the part he missed
he knows..... but he doesn't care
for him it's the conquest
simply a to b
whereas for me
it's to be a journey
along  life's road..that same one
that brought me to here.... so enjoy the walk!
