Makes You Think...

Sometimes it just takes a meeting with an old friend,

and an outpouring of ideas to make you feel well with the world.

Someone who knows you although they've missed all the silt in the riverbed of your life.

They've understood the bedrock and the rain that forms the river of who you are, and they can tell you more about yourself and where you came from than you can ever yourself know.

Suddenly a lot more of yourself seems coloured in, and there's a bit more solidity to things you can move forward with.

I want to do something crazy, and unexpected.

I'm so tired of being inside my own mind all the time

So much so that I'm telepathic of myself.

I seem to pre-program myself so much that I don't have an option to break out of it.

And it scares me that my insistence upon knowing myself so well

Will lead me to never break my own rules.

And if I never break the rules I set for myself,

I'll never discover anything, never gain something that I deem outside of my reach.

At least that's what I think.

Even that is a rule, in itself, in my mind.

But I know right now, there's something I want to do, but I don't know if I can bring myself to do it!
