acceptance

self sufficient people
don't like to help others
or can be made that easily
so let's make
everyone think
they're self sufficient, really
(one demon says to another)


recently it's been suggested
that i gotta love myself

as if i don't
here is my reply

...

it's not that i don't accept myself
it's that i know that others don't
and i don't know how to be what they will

and that matters, doesn't it
it comes up... has an effect

and i can't get anyone to explain it to me
anything beyond, "just be cool, already"
be accepted, some ethereal parameters

...i think... what they don't accept...
is that what they think... affects me
...i'm not allowed to be that way...
so: as if their opinion matters any
had that suckled outta ya already

yeah, don't be trickled
by the cosmic bullies

...instead...
you should
appreciate
that i'm tryin to be a better person
or are you offended, feeling guilty
...for not... bein that... already...
like i caught you or something
and like it matters, to me, that
...just... be... groovy... baby...

...begin... anytime...
it's fine... if you just
be... that... already
so... forgiveness
repent... simply

so ya hafta
disparage it
sour grapes, that
yer all bein winos

for example
easily insulted

n ya can't argue with a liar
like a drunk on a barstool
...if yer kind, yer cool...
but everyone's like
"kind" equals "fool"

cuz they're all psycho
is what you'd hafta be
to believe in that
or just... act on it
...or just misled...
they've all been blinded into it ?
they forgot to check themselves
like a drunk bumpin into things
that instinct, welded outta em
turned off for the night
only this is permanent

they get energy
self being
self worth
acceptance
by fallin on another
attcaking what could save em
had that programmed into em
...it's a seed of self-destruction...

they need to know they're ok, by
...if they can't be anything else...
at least they're attacking
defeating... the enemy
...an enemy...
any enemy

they're obedient
they're conforming
they're disqualified from rejection
...they won't be picked on...
n if they are, it don matter

pick whoever's bein picked on
n you'll... probably... easily find
there's nothing wrong with them
...or... nothing wrong with...
why they're bein picked on

so, it's bein picked on
that's wrong, actually
or... pickin on
that's wrong
...really...

...so...
no one
pick on
...anything else...
except being mean
that's unamerican
that's... inhuman

it's like yer all
...tee-totallers
or drug addicts
...no middle ground...
...no sane most of the rest of us...
...n you think i have no work ethic...
...if i come to you for help in anything...
you think i won't help myself for anything
n that's what i need to do
that thing... n all myself
n while being heckled
otherwise i'll never learn
n that's what i need to do
...obviously...
...that's what...
you had to do
you handled it
felt good, too !
...yeah, yer still...
not handling it yet

...the real moral is...
...it's ok to be broken...
it's permissible... to help the needy
unacceptable to fall upon the meek
prey upon the weenies, weakened
...otherwise it's one guy in secret...
weakening... whoever he doesn't like
or just... puttin that mark upon them
...and the resta the mindless zombies
that's who he's
...sendin em to
...handled that
very efficiently
