i tickle me i must say

the things i try to put away

only to have them resurface again and again

so when i get tired of trying to hide things i would rather not face

i take them out and see what needs to be done

i won’t do it right away, i’ll wait until they cause me pain

sad but thats what it takes, a slow learner i remain

but at least i can laugh at how i operate and perhaps some day i will have the courage to change

that day may never come

shaking my head, i tickle me
