Needin' A Readin'
I left my home today
Pursuing my daily routineDoing the things I normally doLike stopping for coffee orGetting change for the trainBut today I’m feeling strangeSomething is out of place Something just doesn’t feel the sameSo I reach for my Bible to regain peaceReading Psalms always seems to calm meStill feeling very human(ly), I dunno paranoidI think I need to go see somebody Cuz I need immediate answersI think I need a reading.Its reassurance I’m seeking, andUnderstanding and Believing in meIs the reaffirmation I am needingThe feeling won’t go away, I need A Reading to share my plight, I need A Reading not tomorrow but by Tonite! So I buy the daily newspaperTo find a clue on how to proceedLooking in the help-wanted sectionAs I desparately spy to satisfy this need, looking for Confirmation of my personal whats And whys. So I search for jobs And words to fulfill this needDamn it didn’t work, now I really Know I better go get a read. So I check the horoscopes to see if I can cope, but damn according To my sign today, there is no hope!Oh sheeyat, is my mind’s reactionAs it tries to refine my self worthDuring this storm and my perceivedDisaster that is impending, if I don’t Get a reading soon….I can’t even work due to lack of concentrationThis paranoid, malaise is gonna drive me crazySo I click on to myspace to see if anybodyDone hit me….only to find some bogus spamNote and Page Log Hit….more and more I’m Seeing that I sooooo need a reading. In a lastDitch effort I decide to search out poetry, just toTake my mind off, but praying I have been Put on. My favorite is PoetryVibe,Hoping for some sort of sign, I slowly scroll Down to find what I have been all day Needing…..A Reading, not just any readingBut a Reading from others on what I had Written. Oh What A Relief 2b seeing 6 Posts next to your name means somebodyBeen reading and hearing what you have to sayAmazingly the paranoia mysteriously fades awayI feel so much better, guess I better start my Reading of what someone else has to say, andI give thanks to GOD as well as my fellow writers For seeing me and relieving me….of my thoughtsI done wrote. I also hope no one else has 2bDenied the right to be felt from the writes you Done wrote, I would be insulted and paranoid as hell If no one never Gives Me A Reading…..Support and Expand, doesn’t that sound like God’s Plan!

Brotha, being relatively new here, it's comforting to know a Poetry Vibe veteran gets this feeling, too. Peace
