What character am I today?
Oft I strive for studious, disciplined
Yet my ego shakes those keeners off
and lets me where a suit
I’m likely to get in trouble for
In grade school I was sent
to the lost & found to find
myself in another’s clothes
after boldly wearing my own
t-shirt listing the names of the
popular kids in the class
under the stamp
Cool Girls Suck
something ran amuck —
I cannot comprehend
my own ten year old mind
that thought her teachers
were arrested in the head
these past life impressions pressed
back out, creating misery this time ‘round
Attachment to the ego,
character Thomas B.
never did bring happiness
so I won’t be attached to thee —
what kind of actor am I today?
Who will I be as I create
causes for ultimate peace
not just for me —
what purpose for that?
If I truly love others,
I’ll escape and come back
