Madness

December 30, 2012January 12, 2014Penni Jones

There is screaming in my brain. Stories and prose that are trying to get out. Sometimes I can’t figure out how to put them down. I can’t make the screaming go away. But I don’t want to. It’s my home.

I need validation, a visceral reaction from you. Without it I don’t exist. But maybe that’s all right. Because sometimes I’m tired of me. Exhausted from the endless tales and always, always needing someone to tell me ‘well done’.

If I can’t make you laugh, can’t make you cry, can’t make you react, I have wasted my time. And yours. And for that, I am sorry.

Penni, you always make laugh as you see all the absurdities around us.

  And of course I would post that with a typo.

You have once again COMPLETELY failed at wasting my time.

  Oh Larry, and you have failed to irritate me.
