What Should I do With This HUGE Chip On My Shoulder?

What Should I do With This HUGE Chip On My Shoulder?

There I was surrounded by these amazing creatures. They circled me endlessly, daring me to pounce. There were big ones, short ones, fat ones and skinny ones. They were ugly and colorful all at once. Some were old, some were young. They had bulging eyes and sunken mouths, oh my, where would I go?

There was no escaping the incessant nature of their beastly ways! Bombarding me with their cold hard stares; over and over I averted my terrified eyes for the hatred was unbearable and yet like a moth to the flame sucked in I went. Devoured and spit out like last night's dinner. No shame for their despicable behavior.

How can the cruelty exist in such a wondrous world? Self absorbed and full of greed, sucking the life out of me and the beauty that once was. Have they no belief in the existence of something much greater than self? I used to be the one, I used to care, I used to be enlightened and full of love; alas where has it gone?

Absorbed by the darkness and forgotten by the creator for which I longed for so many times. Now all that is left of me is this gigantic chip on my shoulder, the size of which rivals that of a huge boulder, weighing me down, down, down. The river of tears below me are the source of that pain and the boulder is going to bury me in that salty depth of despair.

Where can I turn to now? Who is going to dry these tears? What is going to become of this massive weight that bears down on me? Is there an escape from this predicament that doesn't require the purchase of my soul?

Well written my friend. . We all ask these questions

Well done!

Thank you. I noticed just now you have writer status, is there someone you can put in a good word with for me to achieve such high praise, assuming you think I am worthy?

Thanks, those with kind souls such as yourself certainly can read the message, I have not seen you lately, hoping you are doing okay!

Well written.

Is the chip made out of chocolate? Eat that chip and swallow your pride. Once the chip is gone, so is the desire to protect something that is not really important.

Very well written. You should write a children's book.

I did in fact write one for children called Cats Can Be Hats Too. It is about a little kid who gets cancer and loses their hair from chemotherapy. One day the family cat saw them crying and said do not despair, you can wear me for a hat and you will have new shiny hair.

Nope the chip is made of solid waste and has hardened into a petrified rock the size of the Smokey Mountains. It will take more than all the dynamite on this planet for it to be removed. Unfortunately, salty tears will not drown me fast enough.

Thanks. I am afraid of the big bad moderators. I do not think they like me.
