I Have That Problem Too
I thought it you, not me that had
A struggle with restraint;
I see reflected in your sin
Quite lily-white I ain't.I see I'm yappy, blather on
Till listeners eyes are glazed;
I interrupt till others wish
I'd just shut up my face.I interfere, advice pour out
Unbidden, in a rush,
Till others wish they could escape
My interfering mush.I simplify the complex scene,
View world as cut-and-dried;
The ones who come for help get fed
Leftover hash, deep-fried.My greatest strength gives greatest pain,
I struggle with my mouth;
The flow of words a torrent is
Like flash-floods in the south.So, as I see you struggle with
Unfettered love poured out,
I sympathize, and realize,
You struggle here, no doubt.She said it is not love that lies
In balance with restraint;
But love’s the balancer between
Abandon and constraint.navigation
