Quick To Pass Their Judgements
The ones quick to pass their judgements,
Seem always the ones first to protest...
Any signs of injustices they perceive are made,
Against them and their beliefs.

Quick To Raise My Right Eyebrow
I am one not often stunned,
By those who come...
Just to grieve and leave.
Nor do I give quickly empathy,
To those I perceive...
Wish to deceive me.
But I will donate a raised eyebrow,
To those who will plead endlessly...
That my joy is theirs to take away.
I've earned my happiness.
With a sacrificing of my time.
And I've given every bit of my patience.
But I'm not the kind to barter my peace...
For somebody who has lost their mind.
I am one not often stunned...
By someone who has lost their mind.
I am quick to raise my right eyebrow,
To anyone who wants to see that done.

Quick to Sniff Sabotage
Warning!
Do not select me,
As a means or reason...
To inflict your insecurities.
You will not be pleased,
By the response you will receive from me!
I enjoy my cashews raw, unsalted...
And with raisins.
And if I am trailing in a mix...
I 'may' add dried pineapple.
You see,
It's like this...
I've never been one to run away from conflict.
Nor am I one to whisper in listening ears,
With tainted lips.
To insight drama,
Where none had existed.
However,
If drama is what is sought...
I will ensure to drag inappropriate activities,
To centerstage.
With patience as one of my virtues.
And a mind that is quick to sniff sabotage!
Stripped bare of mystery.
I do not do 'who-done-its' well.
I am direct and quite specific.
And spend little time analyzing BS!
Sometimes in the receiving,
I become overwhelmed with my giving!
Especially to those,
Who have proven to be more than deserving.

Quick To Stop To Adapt And Adopt
Memories to believe mean more to me,
Than sitting to reminisce and not experience...
That which I missed,
But had not occurred in my life just yet.
With wishes I had developed the nerve,
To do what I could have done...
But didn't do because of fear,
Like many do who refuse with excuses...
To move with a making of things to happen.
Although quick to stop to adapt,
And adopt the impossible with doubts.
