Behaviour – Written Wednesday 17th May 2006 (Aged 31)

Behaviour

behaviour
it should be learnt through experience
not just parrot fashion
some of what you say is very wise
it is very clever,
and i only say that,
because it copies me
your paraphrasing of what say or write
well, it is odd,
it’s that desire that we must be the same
behaviour is not doing the right thing
without knowing why you are doing it
or even why you mean it
it should be learnt through experience
it should be fashioned –
from, laughter, tears and even some hurt
all you life experience, that is how it works
