Comfortable allegiances,
With those of similar likes.
And/or dislikes decided.
To find myself eligible,
For lifetime achievement approvals.
To leave hanging in the recesses of my mind.
And for what?
I am not trying to find that type of association.
Some folks are in it for the show and tell!
I’m not into it!
Doing my own thing and minding my business…
I have found most refreshing.
It lessens apologies and confessions.
I’ve long removed myself,
From that kind of insecure need.
And I have no cravings,
To be a social ‘butterfly’.
To either sip or pour tea!
Or prop up my lips…
Ready to whisper fresh gossip!
Those I’ve appreciated,
Already know what to expect from me.
And we know what time it is!
And those that don’t…
Wont!
That’s how I live.
Since peace of mind had been found!
To leave me feeling free,
From making excuses for it!
Or adjusting any schedules,
For its appearance.
With me it stays.
That’s the agreement made.
