so i ask you, sage, in all sincerity ***sage - one who has made mistakes, and would share the fragrance of his lesson plan, his historic failures and the knowing that fear can never be defeated but it can be                                    deferred and differed until lessened*** and asks, how to put aside a ridiculous pride...a palpable fear ***this I know - and you yourself have answered: when necessary, I have made my self an object of Ridiculous - and endured the ridicule and loved the laughter of the fools, and harmonized both for this trite is the best they have, know that sages have                                     bested fear, but never can it be defeated*** to let fly the asking? ***start with a looking glass, perforce speaks the truth, and the answering machine image, undeniably,                                               is you.*** easy? no. i have found no easy thing worth doing or loving.    i don't want ease i want l o v e ***love - the rush of trust, the release of the unconditional sharing    Can never happen till you trust yourself to say,                                 I am afraid*** that i would burn bridges for a struggle of understanding that will keep me alive and whole a sickening rush worth every sacrifice. paralyzing terror because nothing is due me... nothing should be expected so nothing can be misplaced     misguided ***EVERYTHING IS DUE YOU, ROAR WITH ANGERED FRUSTRATION,       AT YOUR FRUSTRATED REFUSAL TO BE ANGRY AT YOURSELF.       BEAUTY INSIDE OUT AND OUTSIDE IN, EVERYTHING IS EXPECTED, AND GIVEN        THERE IS NO HIDEY HOLE FOR YOU TO BE MISPLACED ~ BURN BRIDGES THOSE BRIDGES OF REFRAIN AND RESTRAINT! COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!*** restraint, restraint!!! yes?!    yes. that must be the answer. for if not restraint,   then earth shaking love. and if the earth shakes   people might get hurt. and i might be one of them.               ***restraint, restraint, this is your refrain?                  retrain, retrain, I believe, can you not too?                   believe in you, can you not too?                   hard knocks endured, loveless years, disgrace and more to come, yes love soothes and coos                   but who can love but those brave enough to love themselves first?                   but my refrain will never be restrain, only                   unbowed undefeated asking for the more                   you deserve I drop the BASS on you in your own words:*** cast out fear and man up. or at the very least pretend to do those things. then you might have something to talk about.
