Can't read

CAN'T READ
I've gone thru the tunnel
faced my fear, got my eyes done
But why can't things be simple
It hurts to read. I can see but
damned if I can heed.
I'm quite thick, and that's saying
the best.

Revolving around oneself is not the
best for mental health.
[Christ maybe I should floss my brain]
But I'm raid there are times when I'm
not quite, but almost insane.

I do things which seem quite right
especially when I warp them so when
I put them in sight. they seem quite
rational.

Is there anybody out there, also quite
not right. When things one does are to
others, totally out of sight.

Pulled one this weekend and had it not
been for the kindness of strangers
I'd be in a "place" for those
who ain't quite right.

And, for once I don't know what to say
and I am nothing but glib. full of
Horsesh*T but of this, I can say little
other that I'm ashamed.

You see I thought I was doing right but
my rightness was mis-aimed
And I wonder if there are others out
here who have become so lamed

that they act like fools who have know
knowledge of the game.

Christ, but I can't end this thing
my words put me to shame. cockeyed

I'm speechless. You've said what I would if I had one ounce of eloquence....

Does it help to be here and know that you are not alone??

Thanks, Sunny, I wrote this drunk. too lazy to go back and undo the typo's. But at least I tried to undo by apology, the stupid thing I'd done. Gotta stop drinkin' but for me it's too much fun. And there's so much else to do, but I do just the one that's done in most of my family, I guess it's a tradition, guess one might say I'm in a "family condition." Little joke there. But trouble with a computer is one pecks along, hitting the bottle, feeling alone.
It ain't me who lives in these words it's some feathered thing who takes flight in words. Just as long as they get out and fly away, and I don't remember them the very next day. Thanks, Cockeyed.

there's no reason you shouldn't want to remember what you wrote.

You often touch me with your poignant use of language/ cadence...

I thank you for making me think!
