Pigeon holes

Don’t put me in a pigeonhole
It is the last thing you should do.
You do not understand my role.
Take note of what I’m telling you.

There is nobody quite like me
I am unique I stand alone
I can act independently.
I’m like no one you have known

You are entitled to your view
but I’m afraid that’s limited
You know less than you think you do.
But be my guest and go ahead.

Believe what you want to believe
convince yourself you are correct.
It is yourself that you deceive.
That you will change I don’t expect.

You see the world in black and white,
you have a neat and tidy mind
This does not mean that you are right.
Some things just cannot be defined.

Forget your pigeon holes my friend
each human being is unique
Though unlike you I don’t pretend.
It is the real you that I seek.

I have no time for pigeon holes
I want to see behind the mask
we wear to play to play our public roles.
Maybe that is too much to ask.

Ivor,

It's impossible to count how many
of your poems I have read. You are
like a human poet machine. I admire
how you can write about anything so
freely and I always, always, find
something to take away, even if its
just the fact that you brought some
laughter to my day.

It's really nice to put your poetry
in the mix here. Thanks for showing
up.

We Welcome you freely.
No need to email us.
I'll talk to Sash about that.

We know you well enough and you
are quite welcomed indeed.

Thanks again,
andy
