Throng; Crotchety. **** [my favourite four-letter word]; **** [I still laugh]; A stranger’s **** [even funnier]. ************ Pen15. Menzies; I can say PMDD, but what comes with it? : Censorship. How many of these words will be censored? “Well, **** [I still like **** better.] Poop-ba-doop-ba-doop. ***** …Now, I am curious… …As to which ****** function will be censored… In “Menzies Zone”, I had wanted to write: “My parts of female anatomy”. Will THAT get censored? ©2025Ellen Finn

On Being Immature & Funny Words:
But I struggle to say the word c----- such a clumsy combination of diphthongs is that right, check it out later Why not just say syllables and don't pretend you're some sort of diphthong lord you like saying diphthong don't you almost as much as you hate saying c----- and it's not even the correct term Also how are you stressing the con and the dom? give them equal weight, or go all out on the CON and then a brief and apologetic dum         CON CON CON         dum dum dom It's a small thing but it popped into what is left of my mind so I just had to share it While we're on the subject, there is a four letter word beginning with F that I also can't bear to say - he's so refined, like some Downton Abbey yourladyship and it isn't even f---

Please indulge me
Okay okay okay okay I know cursing isn't quite lady like But what? Why? Look at all these tears! I'm so scared, Because I'm closer to the edge, To the cliff that could lead to my falling or our flying Than I thought And holy crap holy **** I'm so scared because why? This is so familiar, So right, Like a warm hearth That's always been there I just never knew where to look And how why what's going on Why does this scare me so much I don't want to be this invested, But I'm so invested already. What How Did this happen? I'm terrified Absolutely terrified. Happy. Beyond happy. But scared. I've never had issues with commitment before, I've never been afraid of being let down before, But right now, Here and now I'm so scared. Yeah, I hate rejection, But that's a human thing. I've never been so scared To admit what I feel But I'm so ******* scared Holy ******* **** What do I do? This sense of blind panic And fear And the urge to physically run As fast and as far as I possibly can Really isn't helping my asthma. And I'm having these miniature flashbacks To when I was pressured into believing love was forced. And into when I thought loving potential could count But this is different. I've loved before. But it was different. We knew it wouldn't last, His dreams took him too far And my dreams were too domestic. So we didn't even try. But **** it, What am I supposed To even say? It's not about familiarity or it being simple or easy It's about a need A craving To see your smile or make you laugh or better some aspect of your life That makes even this difficult part of life, That being my newly developing issues with committing to and expressing this feeling Because of fear, Refreshing. Safe. It's not that you're a safe bet. It's that you're the only bet I'm willing to risk making. Did that even make sense? What How Maybe I am damaged But **** the world if I won't try to be better, I'm going to be better. Hand me a needle and thread, I'll stitch together these tears in my flesh And pass the glue I'll put the pieces back myself, I just might need you around for this part too Because I only have two hands, And I'm a ******* mess. But I can be put back together again. I can do it myself, as I've said, But having someone around to hand you the supplies (Like sewing needles, thread, glue, scissors, and lots of gauze) Is extremely helpful, And kind of necessary to not get tangled in your own stitches. I don't know how to handle this. Maybe I'll just wait. Should I stop nearing the edge of the cliff? But the wind is at my back, Almost begging me to take off. Just go, see how far I'll make it alongside you. It's so natural. So necessary. Nothing is forced, It all just... Happens. How can something that feels so right, Something so real, Make me so scared? Okay whatever Forget it. Hit the ground running, Come out swinging, All the cliches With the wind at my back I'm as ready as I'll ever be Which means I'll never be, But I need to be so let's go. C'mon life. Gimme all you got.

The things I cherish, come crushing down. The feeling of betray, come cutting down, The trust been build come breaking down, Reason of saying, the four letter words.
