Good morning, Bettermost!
Hope everyone is doing well today, and ready to shake off the shit from the week, and move on to a good weekend!
I'll be away in DC this weekend, so I won't be around, but I'll be thinkin' of y'all!
When diggin' through my poems, I found one that represents a lesson learned to me. I let myself get taken by some kind words and a pretty face. It was sooooo good when he called back after being gone for some time, and to not get taken again. Growth is a good thing!
Snake In The Grasssitting on the computer
and look what I've found
a snake in the grass
that came back around
and then you approached me
that I could not believe
you slithered right over
thought to make me your "Eve"
toss me a line
throw me some bait
hope for a nibble
sit back and wait
well, you fooled me once
I was too dumb to see
you won't fool me twice
there'll be no "shame on me"
and you gave me your numbers
in case I want to call you
well don't hold your breath
'cause you might just turn blue
try to play your games
you will not succeed
there's a new man in my life
and he's all that I need
sure you can talk to me
go ahead, spend that dime
but don't be surprised
if I don't have the time
there's someone else for me now
and he'll always come first
he shows me the best
you show me the worst
you are here for a purpose
it's a lesson learned
you tempted, you succeeded
I let myself get burned
won't happen again
eyes wide opened now
but karma bites back hard
and you'll get yours somehow
