I did write this today and I called it
"My Inner Child Calls the Shots". But I don't really like that.

Oh well.


---
I don't want to go outside today
I don't want to warm in the sun and play

I just want to sit in my fort where it's grey
and lonely
and quiet

but that's safe.


I don't want to walk down the street and say hi
or smile and pet all the doggies passing by

I just want to hide in my blankets and cry
and be lonely
and be icky

'cause it's safe.


I don't want to wave at the driver on the bus
I can't smile when I get off and say "Thanks for taking care of us!"

The best I can do is sit on my bed and trust
if I'm angry
and I'm scared?

Lonely's safe.

I like it. I don't think children's publishers would, though LOL.

Unless you rephrase it slightly, to something like "lonely is safe, sometimes," instead of merely "lonely is safe."

I've been meaning to ask you: Is the person pictured in your icon you?

Yes. I tend to look really different in different pictures for some reason though. So, a picture I took maybe a couple days after this one I look like a different person.

I like this pic [the avatar] it turned out neat.

I must confess: To say you're attractive is an understatement.

Aww shucks.
But that's only one half of my face.

I must confess I am also part velociraptor.
