My Dark Shadow Friend

My buddy!

I sometimes catch his reflection in the mirror of truth

 

My dark shadow friend; Guilt is his name,

 

Casts his darkness over everything I do

 

Funny, I never see his lips move,

 

But he whispers in my ear, "It's somehow your fault."

 

He feeds on my joy, yet he is never satisfied,

 

He's the black hole where joy goes to die!

 

I know I shouldn't listen, but his voice

 

Is like the siren's call, leading me onto destructive shoals

I have a friend like that I guess we all do.More often than not I don't listen to her but sometimes.....great pen Mikey :)

[Michael Stevens]

Thanks Vidya; I try not to listen, but every once in a while my hearing is too damn good!

[Vidya Bacchus]

As it is for us all.You are welcome stick :)

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, I think that's true of most people!

[Lyn Anderson]

Isn't it interesting, how that little voice tells us stuff we know isn't right, but we listen anyway. An actually very meaningful piece, told in a light hearted and funny way.

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, 'interesting' is one word for it; but, because this is a family site, I'd better not say what another word might be!

Marie gives good review and advice at the same time...I know this friend too, toss his arse!

[Michael Stevens]

I know I should, but he's attached to my brain; we're like Siamese twin heads!

[Frieda P]

You'll need to have him surgically removed...

[Michael Stevens]

Agreed, but my doctor, Dr. Hack, is getting his BMW detailed, and so is unavailiable!

[Frieda P]

Dr Hack, it figures, is he friends with that sassy advice columnist?

[Michael Stevens]

I'm not sure, but he was one of the guests at her, "Suck It Sideways!" barbecue!

[Marie]

You don't need this friend. Get rid of him.

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, I've been told he's a leech, but do you think I listen?
