I Repeat Myself by Joan SerratelliI repeat myself
I go on and on
I ask the same questions
over and over again
People think I don't listen
I don't know why
I do the things I do
People get mad
and frustrated
they just don't understand
it's just me
.....being me 02/23/2009 Author's Note: I have a rare neurological condition. I\'m on a few meds. I don\'t know if I\'d be any different if I were totally normal (What\'s that feel like???)

| Posted by Maria Massarella on 02/23/09 at 11:48 PM I am taken to think of music and the repetition of the lines that are in harmony with the various verses. May they see you as the beautiful song that you are ... A most touching poem, Joan. I especially love the closure. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/24/09 at 03:27 PM Thought provoking piece Joan. On the humourous side, I'd be tempted to wear a sign explaining my condition for those who get frustrated with the repetition. |
