[Outbursts] Classify Me
by Nikki RiceClassify Me.
Lord knows I can't & I've certainly tried.
So many names to choose from...
Artist. Pig. Socialist. Whore.
Think carefully, 'cause this label will probably stay with me for the rest of my life.
I almost went to church yesterday.
I began to question my steadfast Atheism.
Maybe I do need morals.
Maybe I do need one definitive book (under the interpretation of others, of course) to explain what is right and wrong.
A mentor. That's what I need.
Someone to lead me through each seemingly trivial, yet actually life-altering, decision that I must make.
I obviously am not capable myself.
I used to believe in kharma.
Now, however, I'm beginning to think that you can be as cruel, offensive, or thoughtless as you'd like and never suffer any consequences.
Is that the birth of a sociopath?
I hope not.
I'd like to scream "God, help me!" but we've already discussed my feelings on that, haven't we? 12/01/2004 Posted on 12/01/2004
