I want to embrace my fool the part of me less than me,
this idiot that interrupts with jokes no one gets.
I'd like to embrace that fool.
I'd like to move around inside of her instead of her inside of me,
it would be nice like a me outside of me,
I want to embrace my fool,
The girl that falls for smooth lines and sweet cologne.
I want to accept my fool.
The one that plays games that attention whore, that give me, give me, need for more.
Why cant i embrace it or just let it go, that embarrassed hiding aspect of myself, that sweet, well meaning fool.
I have no problem embracing my neurotic, chain smoking, heavily drinking, artist, fantasy, alter ego.
I just want to embrace my fool.
