What Kind Of Fool Am I?
by: rj
What kind of fool am I?
Am I the kind who hears one thing and interprets another?
The kind who walks toward the flames when there’s no one I’m after?
The kind who writes letters that never gets read?
The kind who puts flowers on top of my head?
Am I the fool who waits for the train that will never come?
The kind that stares directly into the hot summer sun?
Am I the fool who chooses to believe, silly stories meant to deceive?
Or the kind who looks forward to letters I never will receive?
Am I the kind who endures a long, painful weep?
The kind who dips into warm river waters until I discover exactly how deep?
The kind that runs endlessly in the garden, chasing butterflies…stumbling all too often, too swift, too sudden..
Am I the kind who obeys without question, every law ever written, even unproven supposition? Takes unsolicited advice and accepts every notion?
Am I the kind who stare blankly into space, wondering what is it that colors the sky that’s so splendid in its grace?
Am I the fool who thinks that love, is nothing more than finding your heart’s desire, without exception or expectation? Who thinks that when I find it, it’s best to follow its direction?
The kind who wishes fairy tales to come true or for Santa’s present to arrive? When the entire world affirms that it is folly to think so, like a bee doesn’t live in a hive?
Am I the fool who sees more in you, more than anyone else will?
Or the kind that gets run over by a slow car’s steady wheel?
Am I the kind who climbs mountains and dreams to see the world from atop it?
Or the kind who thinks it’s futile to resist when I want it, oh I want it.
What kind of fool am I, will you tell me?
Before I discover it myself and decide to flee?
What kind of fool am I? Please let me know quickly.
Before I lose myself and kill you without mercy.
The kind of fool I am, is the kind you ignored.
The kind who loved you, but you were never in accord.
The kind who worshipped you, but was never adored.
The kind of fool who lied for you, who eventually got bored.
