Waiting for the doctor

People talk to me,
far too quickly for my own liking.
I agree,
nod,
and smile,
simply because I lack the time to form the perfect response.

What makes me,
me,
disappears in a desperate attempt
to be recognized as 
an individual. 

How ironic -
Panicked by the pause
between statement and rebuttal,
I nod,
and sacrifice thinking 
for false individuality.

I've decided
I'm going to be myself 
for now.

  1. I know folks are in such a hurry. but don't sacrifice you individuality- just remember you
    are a cool person to get to know- if they're in
    too much of a hurry - their loss.

    coolest blog.
