Burning My Head Out

poem by: Joshua JayShades Legister
Written on Nov 06, 2017

Am currently sat listening to you tell the same problem story over and over.
It didn't begin that way .
One friend to another we engage in festivities to free our minds from the mundane confines of life . 
Lowering inhibitors.               Releasing pheromones that secrete through our pores letting the ones we want to come around us and have our company. 
As the waves of "Do you jan" life creep up ,recurring topics become more and more rememberable.
I swill more vodka hoping you change the subject. 
My lines become bigger in hope you change the music song .
I begin to pace more hoping maybe you want something to shut you up for the moment. 
As time draws on and daylight approaches I understand one thing .
Through my whole night listening to you.
That you cant hear yourself.

This reminds me of my Mom and the stories she would tell over and over again. Been in your shoes with others as well and I especially like the last line. Janet
