Tangerines

You definitely dont want to be a tangerine. Its where you look solid on the outside but you are really soft and squishy on the inside. Your moods carry you this way and that way and you aint really making a lick of sense. You asking for directions when you already know the way. You need to do the work but just wont lift a finger. You tenderfooted and aint even taken a step yet. 

And the terrible thing about it is that you keep talking. Still trying to bend the world to your will. 

The truth is that it is all possible for you. You just need to do the work.

Very nice write... When, I saw the title it reminded me of one of my flings... And I nicknamed her Tangerine, because of her complexation but she a redbone beauty, bow-left legged body of thunder... So, I thank you for the title taking me down memory lane. Inconclusion the analogy of the Tangerine being soft on the inside is very, very clever.

I think I'm an Orange, last year a Tangerine and let''s hope in 6 months a Pineapple. So true and well written
