YOU DON'T KNOW ME

LIZ


Notice of absence from LIZ
PEACE, LOVE, LIGHT!


A delusion of optical perception; if you saw who I am, then there is no question. It's not my problem what you chose to believe. You don't really know me, your mind's playing tricks.

 

You know what they say, don't accept what you see; there's a lot more truth behind what you've seen. l could tell you, but my tongue won't speak; you can say it; you think I'm a witch. If it helps you; accept what you need; it won't change the past, or the things perceived.

 

I can admit it, I don't get your drift. But don't pretend you know me, you just got a peek. I'm diverse baby, and my roots are deep, watered by the sweat of the things I've lived. 

 

Illusions can blind you, and mess with your mind, but still, at the end, you'll see what you want.

            Easy to believe you are all that and more. I’ve been lucky cuz I’ve never had to “own”. A privileged visit is lifelong enriching muck like that Gale Garnett song.
            “ We sang in the sunshine
            You know we laughed every day
            We sang in the sunshine
            Then you went on you way”

            • LIZ

              Thank you so much ❤️ AND 🎶 I'll sing to you each morning, I'll kiss you every night, but darlin', don't cling to me,
              I'll soon be out of sight 🎶 very nice!!

                Exact. That girl for me was named Ursula. I’m still in disbelief.

                that's my 'get over it'
                rock my head
                till i forget, song
                we in-sync, dancing
                till we can't breathe
                lol
                perception, indeed
                as mostly, it is ourselves that lets
                those toxic influences linger
                when we can just 'shake it off'
                and move on
                just as quickly as we forget their names
                lol
                we just have to choose, us
                and proactively work towards
                enjoying our precious, life
                (tell your enemies
                you got people who've got your back
                that do poetic voodoo
                so they better not mess around
                before they catch a debilitating
                metaphor, to their thought's
                throat!)
                yeah! they best be scared
                pfffttt
                😁
                hope you have a lovely weekend
                cherished friend
                whoosah! your week's debris
                let all the bull sht, drift
                with the passing wind
                (no, not a fart
                like
                a gust of wind..
                geez
                that's so unlady like
                really)
                😎
                i tried to gift you a smile
                I'll settle for a smirk
                or even a knowing wink
                🤷‍♂️😉

              • LIZ

                Ayyyyyy I'm laughing alright! 😆 thank you for that!!! And that's my "get off my face" song!!! 🤣 "tell your enemies
                you got people who've got your back
                that do poetic voodoo so they better not mess around before they catch a debilitating metaphor, to their thought's
                throat!" UFFFFFF People have no idea! We don't play!! You're right though, we must choose ourselves every time!! So yes, I'm letting all the bulls*** drift with the wind LOL! Have an awesome weekend! Whoosah!!!!

                True words Liz, people see what they want but I am sure that I would see the good in you as I do with most people.

                Andy

                • LIZ

                  Thank you Andy! ❤️ As an empath I always see the good. But I like getting to know people deeply...that's where the truth is!!

                  My daughter, at a very young age, once said, "you can't judge a cupcake by the icing". This reminds me of that. People perceive, oftentimes judge, based on an impression. They truly don't know a person without letting themselves be known. Just not possible. sorry for going on, a very thought provoking, true write.

                • LIZ

                  I love that! And so true! We have so many layers, and a lot of us are deep! Thank you for this!
