Out Of The Way
I didn't mean to be like them/her
a tempest of trepidation
where ego echoes a trouble mind
the clichè of a pest barking at hest
no worm to earn on a too early quest
those troubles, that mind
it's mine, it's mine
the sun, the stars
they shine as they shun
no worry to whom or what
has been done
I don't want to be that bother
a neighbor‘ less brother
all feeling for self
and not one another
I won't force greed
or swallowed up need
no push or no shove
I'll give til I bleed
I won't take mornings
nor disrupt on this day
just me with my coffee

Thanks dearest Brenda, this is more of a social commentary than about me per se.

One, is never truly out of the way when you consider the analogy of birds of a feather and all but it’s nice to catch a glimpse of you sitting on the fence as opposed to throwing stones like a loser; in which you’re clearly not !
Hope you enjoy the rest of your day... 😎

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, Mr.. Layers, but it makes me think of those shoved aside & forgotten. The unseen, unnoticed struggling souls. It's hauntingly beautiful

I suspect you have a generous soul and are a true gentleman. Self-effacing! Love this write, JusTim.
