Ode To Me...

I hide because sometimes my thoughts are too powerful

 

I cover up because maybe I’m just too outlandishly humble

 

I abide in quiet sanctity maybe cause I just don’t want to deal with the ********

 

I convene in my small space because I just want to be

 

I sing and dance in my happy place because that’s my way to be free

 

I don’t hide…cover…abide…convene…or sing and dance because I lack any social ability

 

But sometimes you just want to be…

 

Be with yourself and your own thoughts floating on a cloud of everflowing confidence leading to an over abundance of assurance and resolution

 

If I don’t love myself who else will

 

So if I come off that I’m not here

 

If I come off distant or complacent

 

Or if I even come off like a *****

 

It’s because I’m hiding…covering…abiding…convening…singing and dancing with myself

 

And that’s the person whom I love to be with
