Me? Yes, me.
The sight of a beautiful landscape should never be missed
And the scent of a warm loaf of bread should always be appreciated
Yet, the tastless liquid of water is never needless
Neither is the soft fabric from which the ground comes springing.
I would be the first to admit that life's quite a terrifying bore
without the constant beating of another nearby soul
And God forbit should I be left alone,
without the rhymthic soothing vibration of a musical note.
A personalized inanimate companion has recently become a trend
Yet, my only true constant friend lives in the dark spaces of a hidden upstairs tent.
Life has its moments of flash and slow-motion
Yet, without me, myself, and I, can there truly be any movement?
At the possibility of sounding completely narcisistic, and a tad bit of hippy,
I'm here to declare that after years of inner battle, the one I hold dearest to my heart is none other than me.
