Very Anything

 

Very Anything

 

I'm not over keen on anybody who is very anything. 

very Welsh

very Loud

very Proud

Maybe because I used to be

and I don't want to be the person I used to see

in the bathroom mirror.

The face that I used to punch with my own fists

to stop the thoughts that I couldn't erase.

That was then and this is now.

I still have the furrowed brow,

 testament

to the incessant intrusions

that would bombard me and be alleviated

temporarily by the drugs and booze.

In your twenties and thirties,

you're swimming through treacle

and the secret is

'To Just Let Go'

So if you see anybody

who is very anything,

You'll know

that

it's all an act

all a show.
