The Mirror of our Madness

gray0328

 

If someone’s voice drives you insane,  

And their complaints fall like the rain,  

If their habits twist your grin,  

And their laugh feels like a din—  

 

Remember once, not long ago,  

Your own quirks stole the show.  

Your hum off-key, your scattered socks,  

Your jokes that tick-tocked like a clock.  

 

The way you chew, the way you snore,  

The stories you re-tell once more,  

Your nervous twitch, your wobbly dance,  

Your odd responses to a chance—  

 

Oh yes, my friend, it’s good to see,  

Some days we’re nutty, wild, and free.  

So when someone drives you up a tree,  

You’re just their mirror. Aren’t we lucky?
