We All Write with Lulu; This Weeks Journaling Prompt

Let The Cat Out of the Bag.

I tried not to show it, but I simply couldn't contain myself. I must have somehow let the cat out of the bag. I surely didn't mean to brag. I mean, was it really that obvious? It's just. No, no, I must not say it. I’d better not think it, and I most certainly better not feel it.

Should I? Or did I already let the cat out of the bag? Because PEOPLE HATE ME! And for what reason?? WAIT...their hate is WITHOUT reason. Hmph.. You’d think I committed treason.

Nah, I’d get TOO MUCH LOVE for that, and a WHOOLLEE LOT OF DAP. That's funny, without a shadow of a doubt, I’d get so much clout for betraying someone who's done ABSOLUTELY nothing to me, but rather EVERYTHING for me. You know who I’m talkin bout? Guess, take a wild one. You already know who it is... TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE..

OOPS, I ALMOSTTT..let the cat out of the bag. And No.. I'm not gon say it.

But Do Guess.. And Again, take a Wild One.

Just know that if I betray this individual by turning my back, thinking I know everything, that I don’t need him, going my own way, I MEAN... going astray, Then I couldn't possibly LOVE.

OOPS, there I go again... I ALMOSTTT let the cat out of the bag.

Answer me this, WHAT IS IT WITH FOLKS? Why, when you LOVE.. No, no, no.. I Better Not Say It.. Again, I BETTER NOT THINK IT OR EVEN FEEL IT. People HAATTEE.. When I EXPRESS IT. You know what? Let me just say it.

Cause People Gon Hate whether I do or I don't. But MAINLY, It’s because.. I DO! I LOVE GOD! and I LOVE MYSELF TOO.

THERE..I said it. I LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG!
