Thoughts of Floating Driftwood

Some moments when I look at you funny
A most demure smile spreads across your face
Daintily laugh and mumble "Oh Honey"
When I am serious you think it's child's play

Ok! Ok! Now what have I to say
No words can decribe feelings I confess
Lacking sincerity just fade away
So many thoughts are lost while we digress

Away, my words flee from you in a flood
Our confusion wasted like energy
Causing friendship become stuck in the mud
While taking classes in "Dramaturgy"

What if my thoughts were ever understood
Instead of floating around like driftwood

sadly one thing nobody seems to teach is antidramaturgy. we all have to learn it on are own by trial and error. good write,being open and honest with your thoughts is not exactly easy for many...elo.. wave

well said Elo.... It gets a little tiring to hear 'how great' evryone else is all the time...when most of the time....It's just going okay....like it really makes me laugh...when i hear people say "sometimes I feel so blessed"...i want to say...oh yea...and "what do you feel the rest of the time?" rolling on the floor laughing cool
