Behavior Ties
The problem with poor behavior,
especially your own,
is that one wants to breathe it all away;
so much to a degree,
I'd prefer it never happened,
leaving not much else, for anyone to say.
When the moment alters,
decidedly pointing towards a shift,
embellishment destroying most of truth;
it surfaces a version
that's easier on the soul,
but, if were candy.....one would likely lose each tooth.
Since adding to a story,
does much to contradict,
ones actions much more than it can be good;
so, I defend my actions,
indifferent, good, or bad
so my legacy can't be misunderstood.
It may look idiotic,
or spastic, one might say
but, chart my deeds on any sort of graph;
no one will get angry,
I rarely do anything, that wrong
so, I'm merely treating folks to a good laugh.
