BEING IMPRESSIONABLE

Being impressionable is not a good thing,
it leaves you at the mercy of any ding-a-ling.
'Go toward the shining mountain, take the straight winding path.
Cry, suffer, walk back and forth, until you begin to laugh'.

'At what'? I ask, then say to myself, at the end of it all,
As I rest my new found body, against a strong wall,
'Laugh heartily and long at every desperate antic,
of a mind that yearns deeply and has grown quite frantic
for a tiny bite of peace,
for the desperation to cease'.

No, being impressionable is not good,
If anyone can vouch for that I could,
and can, because I've found another way,
the absolute opposite, of what the ding -a-lings say.
