Doing One or The Other

Do not 'threaten' with promises,
To move and go away.
Do it!
Your perception will be enhanced.

You will know who misses you and why.
You will know the value of your opinions.
And that influence you believe you have achieved,
Over others?
Sit and wait by your telephone,
To hear how much you are endeared!

Do not 'threaten' with promises,
To move and go away.
Do it!
Your perception will be enhanced.

You will either perceive yourself,
As being an overused convenience.
Or you will quit leaving yourself voicemail...
To test an underused answering service.
Doing one or the other will snap you into reality.
And dramatically your thoughts will change.
