“Duh-Smiley” once said:
“I know you like hats, so I brought you some hats.”
[Her “hat” looked different.]
She was writing a college paper on mental health.
[I was her topic.]
I did not care when those, of whom, were “learning”
A new trade came into the room.
[My “lonely-child”
Turned “isolation”
Was her sub-topic.]
So, “we” kept it up;
[She did not “know” my “own trade”,
So, that’s when “the behaviorist” came into play.]
A woman, of whom, I had “seen behind a glass”,
Once, “like being behind a window” was there,
Again, when I went to college.
[All that I had needed was “one good look”,
And she was back.]
I “took three steps back for every [three] step[s] forward”.
And I had “passed the[/her] psychology class”.
But I will “never forget”
How I was “Treated”
By That School.
AND: “By the professionals”, of whom,
Called it “Social Isolation”
In Other Classrooms.

Must concentrate. I'm getting things wrong.
What's a professional poet like?
Does he take sugar? What can I do?
He'll be better at it than me.
Relax, smile, tell jokes instead of style.

This is who I am
I do want to continue to be your professional friend
A person with years of experience
I can also illustrate in an instance
Education that has taken me far
You really don’t need a car
I am a writer and a poet
These are my traits and now you know it
My words have a certain flow
My sentences reflect in the show
My photo being the person behind the profile
I believe my image creates a certain style
There’s plenty of information to share
There is still time and its called spare
Linkedin.Com with its professional approach
Other profile’s being no joke
The many people that I have connected
A chosen few who are selected
Linkedin.Com a form of exchange
It’s all about how ideas are arranged
At some point, you can always make a change.

I feel scared to try new things,
But then every time I'm scared,
I remind myself:
"Remember, amateurs built Noah's ark,
And professionals built the titanic."
