others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

....

I am making new friends
I am leaving the old behind
I am listening to my heart
Yet following my mind

I am learning to move on
I am trying to stay still
I am not going anywhere
I don't know if I will

I am scared of being tired
I am tired of being scared
I realise I'm walking backwards
While trying to run ahead

I am not sure if I can lead
And I don't want to walk with you
If I don't want to follow either
What on earth am I supposed to do?
