We piled into the lifts
and she said to me:

  "When you're in one of those meetings
  sitting all polite and listening
  with the serious and interested
  look on your face
  do you ever get the impulse
  to do something outrageous
  to disrupt the proceedings
  and draw attention to yourself
  in an inappropriate manner?"

- "As if to say *******
  and everything you stand for?"

  "Possibly."

  - "As if to say
  although I may have grey hair and a mortgage
  in DEEP DOWN
  reality I am only
  5 years old, and I am
  BORED BORED BORED
  thus it is my infantile nature to run amok..."

  "That sort of thing."

- "Sure. I have this urge to heckle
(******* while making disturbing growling noises)
or kick the seat of the person in front
(go screaming naked berserk with an
assault rifle) but you know... "

  "Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one."

I speak for those with prose
Not for the entertainment
of published trolls

We bare our thoughts
Our opinions
Our feelings
Our truths
Our ideas
Our souls

Because we choose to
Because we need to
Because we have to
Because we want to

We don't want to be famous
We don't want to be judged
We don't want to compete
We don't want to speel check

Our grammar is correct
Our diction is correct
Our styling are correct
Our poems are perfect!

Because that is how
we intended them
to be
We love them
JUST THE WAY THEY ARE!

Feel free to judge us
It is your god given right
But, keep your criticisms to yourself
Unless we ask for it

As you read these written words
You hear every single syllable
Echo in your head
You are now telling this to yourself

Thank you for listening
