the man i was afraid of

it had to happen, because i wasn’t progressing, i was stuck in a arcade

the guy trying to shoot the hat off the man was me and i was the guy wearing the hat

the carnie running the game just keep putting his hand in my pocket and grabbing money

as he cried while laughing, ”play on, getting closer, play on”

i put the gun down and sat on a bench by the ferris wheel, i knew eventually you would come

the other part of me

we sat for a few minutes and you began,” you know i have been trying to get your attention for a long time,

you didn’t want to hear it or be confronted with anything i had to say. Yes i am your conscious and you ignored me and look where your are now, you’re at the circus because your life is a circus and i just want to be part of the process and i can help you if you let me. we can start over and go slow but i am not your enemy i am your remedy.”

we shook hands and as we walked to the gate he disappeared and i knew i was starting to heal and the we became one again.
