OH, CRAB!
Posted on Oct 4, 2008 04:26:28 PM
When two people I highly respect, admire, and love are breathing fire –with me caught in the middle, I feel suffocated; I just want to crawl back into my own shell and never resurface… ever. I couldn’t stand this kind of conflict… not again. I’m crumbling to fine smithereens. ‘Tis a darn messy, dark jungle for a small crab.
Mr Reid once told me to follow the free crabs. I said I need not to, because I am the free crab. I got my own hole. I don’t live in a bucket with the captive crabs. This free crab is now lost, Mr Reid. I need the other free crabs! I’ve been arrogant to assume I could find my own way. This sudden onslaught of high tide is one I hadn’t been prepared for. It’s too late to dig my own hole. I only got my own shell to protect me.
Or I could just walk away… a coward’s way out. I am perfectly flawed, anyway. I never assumed I was perfect. I’m no saint crab, darn it!
