Nothing Positive To Say – Written Saturday 7th April 2006 (Aged 31)

Nothing Positive To Say

you have nothing positive to say
everyone else has problems
but,
strangely,
not you…
you judge and then condemn –
all those you know and see
everyone else is to blame
but,
strangely,
not you…
you tell the world how it should feel
but you are not prepared to feel at all
and when caught –
with your hands in the till
someone else is to blame
of course,
someone put the till there…
but,
strangely,
not you…
you have nothing positive to say
it’s as if you are somehow colour blind
and you only see grey
your own lack of self fulfilment
your own emptiness
everyone else is at fault
but, strange,
not you…
