The Uninvited (My Own Worst Enemy)

Whispered doubts

There it is again, that voice,

 

Whispering doubts in my ear,

 

Shouting down my feeble excuses;

 

Never lets me forget my fears,

 

Putting me in my place when I

 

Start to think too positively, when I start

 

Trying to talk myself into believing things

 

Just may work out; that they may go my

 

Way; whispering it's for my own good;

 

Just protecting me, how expecting the worst

 

Is only common sense; after all,

 

If I don't expect much, I'll never be

 

Disappointed; we share the a point of view; we

 

Share a name; we share a brain

What brain is that you share? It's common sense to prepare for the worst, but not to expect it.

Common sense and I go together like squash and children; no, I'm sure that somewhere there's a child who likes squash; just not me, then or now! No, I know you're right!

Honestly Mike, I don't understand why you're so self-doubting. You always brush these kind of things off with a joke. I'm not trying to be your psychiatrist, I just worry about you sometimes.

[Michael Stevens]

Thank you for worrying about me, but I'm not bummed out as much as my serious stuff suggests. Most of the time my inner voice tells me to belly-laugh right in life's face, It whispers, "Bring it on!" while grabbing it's crotch!

Hmmm, sounds very sexual. 😂

That's good to hear. And I was going to go on a rant about why you shouldn't feel that way. :)

Anyway, line four: "lets", no apostrophe.

I'm not going to say anything, but let's just say, my hand and I are REAL close! And thank you for pointing out the boner!

So awkward... 😂😂😆

[Michael Stevens]

Are you laughing at my boner?

[Michael Stevens]

I apologize Anna; I tend to push the line of good taste way back before I've been drinking (coffee); oh, who am I kidding, before coffee, after coffee, it makes no difference; my mind's in the gutter 24/7!

Come on! Life's no fun if every person you meet is easily offended!

[Michael Stevens]

That's what I tried to tell the arresting officer!

[char]

Lmao! 😂 That's why you don't do the things that you do out in public!

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, the old Fun Police, huh?
