ON INSECURITY



 

Society says you’re "it"
Propriety says agree
Others have sampled what you own
(I've long been out of the running zone)
Yet you’re racing; chasing me
Anxiety makes you fear
Sobriety won’t last long
You wonder why what’s yours
Is often not where it belongs

An extra’s always poised backstage
A spare is always on the lot
Temporary shuns the stress
That permanence has got

One always knows what one deals with
But keeps hoping it will change
One wants to think one's special
But some things are just strange like that

The more you try, and buy, and love
The less you’ll be the sole ace of
What you think you deserve
So stop
Wait
Loosen the restraint
Stop coddling mediocrity
Take what's best out of reserve
Stop trying to fix others
Sure...if everyone would just comply
Be who we want, then we
Would have less disappointment
How happy we would be!
For them, though, it’s misery
To not be who they are
No wonder they stray often
And cover every scar

Frustration comes when we don’t see others
For who they really are
