Black Poetry : This Thing!

thatgirl74 · Aug 19, 2012

What we do is this thing
That takes us through these
Motions and brings us back to
The same place.
We seem to walk away hell bent on not repeating the same thing and the path we are storming down seems to lead us right back to the same point.
Here. Now. This. You. I.
And no matter how much I can intellectualize the fact I can't continue this cycle because it is just as productive as a dog chasing his own tail. I can't get off this ride because the ride is so **** good.
So here I am taking part in this Thing that we do and we do it oh so well. And right now I can't stop.

In the Spirit of Sankofa,

... Good script poetess, powerfully written, glad to see you back and posting thatgirl74.

Hopefully, some will break the habit:

Peace In,
