Not Personal Is What You Say!

Not Personal
© N Noël Jan 2009


Walk over you, talk over you it’s all the same don’t take it Personal just a part of the game. May treat you like a whore then you become a chore don’t be shamed Not Personal it’s who you became.

Speak your mind be unkind doesn’t make a difference just don’t take it Personal. Don’t see you just treated like a worn shoe taken for granted, speak words and think thoughts slanted. “It is what it is” going about your business who cares what happens to you, just me! Same old tired story from beginning to end a beautifully wrapped package turns out to be a so called friend.

Like excess residue scraped off the bottom of a shoe. Only meaningful when there’s nothing to do at one or two in the morning. An afterthought on a grey day or rainy night never will be seen out in plain sight. Not Personal just words and actions used for attraction to get what you want all a part of a foreplay front.

When you’re through on to your next success always leaving excess baggage a festered mess but YOU never stressed. Not Personal it’s what you do best. Easy to discard after you’re no longer hard. Like changing dirty sheets the process is as easy as one, two, three. Use, remove and then throw away Not Personal just a long, obscene recurring play.

Always a critic when “the subject” turns into a cynic exhausted from “scene one” “act two” of your tired extended life play. Can’t understand why they cry yet heavily denies any involvement or wrong doing. Its Not Personal just “You doing You” full of pride taking all along for the a ride with your see-saw attitude and ways. Pleasing the one in the mirror is the goal in all endeavors Not Personal at the end of the day.

Will it ever stop? Yes, maybe not, takes character, empathy and respect for others to go that way. Not Personal is your montage created in a haphazard and delusional mind that’s gone astray. Can’t believe you would choose to live life a tortured soul transferring gripes never giving thought to those you caused pain.

You, never comprehend, accountable, yet you defend poor choices made time and again. Your past, present and future all the same until it all hits ya can’t run from self forever it is the game you’ve played. Not Personal will consume if you choose to resume no one to blame in the end. The reflection looking back at you, Not Personal your best friend.
