You Do It To Yourself

[Tiger the Lion]

You Do It To Yourself

When there was nothing
on tv
and her phone was hush,

she'd sometimes click,
click, 
click 
through an album
called Christmas in Cuba,

knowing measured toxicity
could be quite a buzz.

[Finnysta54]

This paints an image to me of when it’s quite and you are one with your thoughts, sometimes it can get stormy and there isn’t much but a tv glaring in the background and a choice to drink away the hard times.

hi roaring tigerthelion

I want to change some stuff
when I read it to take off
the judgemental edge.



You Do It To Yourself    

When there was nothing
on tv
and her phone was hush,

she'd sometimes click,
click, 
click 
through an album
called Christmas in Cuba,

knowing measured toxicity
could be quite a buzz.



You Do It To Yourself                                   We Do it to Ourselves

When there was nothing                               When there was nothing
on tv                                                             on tv
and her phone was hush,                              and our phone found a hush

she'd sometimes click,                                    we'd sometimes click
click,                                                                        click,                                
click                                                                         click
through an album                                          through an album
called Christmas in Cuba,                                called Christmas in Cuba,

knowing measured toxicity                            knowing measured toxicity
could be quite a buzz.                                    could be quite the buzz.



I hope it's okay I messed with your poem a bit.
