learning derek

by derek garner - Virgo

in books i travel
why?
why not
the outside you possess
petrifies this introvert,
excessive,compulsive, nuerotic............man?
Besides this 
mass of flesh and bones,
your sticks and stones will cause
the occasional headache, but,
i will be me.
never pity me
never revere me.
just know me
respect my decision to
live in my daydreaming
and buy me a comfortable pillow.
