RIDE THE WAVE

I used to want to be taken

By the current of humanity,

To be a part of its flow;

I now know, though,

That my life is separate, alone

And simply mine.

‘Simply’ being the key word.

 

Otherwise, the ride is crowded;

Exciting, but crowded;

And I cannot see myself

In the activity.

 

Surely a balance would be nice

Because more than one

Will not suffice when

In the end it is only I

Who pay the price

For the ride.
