And I remember dragging my friend down
from that platform.
I also remember being so utterly sure
I'll make it alone.
Sure that I don't need people
How could I need others?
Remember standing tall, proud and happy
All by myself
Life seemed too long, too engrossing,
With too many options.
I remember finding it tough
keeping track of my goals,
Too much on my hands to worry about anything.
I could afford pinnacles
Suddenly the premium on principles
is so much higher
I can still stand true to those touchstones
I stoutly defended once
But at the cost of excruciating pain
My courage fails and I want my happiness
Back.
So I compromise
Fall
Slowly give way.
To accept things I had scorned.
People say "I am getting smarter" :))
I call it corruption!
But humor saves them and me.
We laugh at our own double standards.
And look for more people to drag down!
